Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

For all the boxes ticked, the Ravens skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Monk pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 62nd overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They read the board right and Bralen Trice was the payoff at slot 93. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens is a better player than No. 113 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A reach for Christian Jones in the 130th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at pick No. 165. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy little value on Jaylan Ford in pick 218, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk in Round 7, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
