Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Ravens.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Khalid Duke; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at pick 250. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Sainristil at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 72nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in pick No. 93 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 113 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 130 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in slot 164, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at Round 5, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevin Wallace a notch or two before his time. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They paid sticker price for Tylan Grable in the 228th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at the 250th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
