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

Nobody else had Kendall Milton anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Ravens did, by 134 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Gentry pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 32 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the 95th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in slot 132, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
No edge and no loss on Nelson Ceaser in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 5, Pick 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They reached a country mile for Kendall Milton at pick 244, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry is a better player than the 253rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
