Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Jennings: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ali Jennings slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 30. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kalen King
Value with a capital V on Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 29, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in the 129th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They let Jonah Monheim come to them and pounced at slot 166. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
Taking Ali Jennings in the Round 7 slot 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.
