Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Simpson: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaylin Simpson got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at No. 165. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Taylor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at No. 113 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach on Mason McCormick in slot 130; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 218th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Taking Ryan Flournoy in pick 228 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 250th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
