Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Ravens skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.

The cost of the Ulofoshio reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carson.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabriel Murphy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in slot 130, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick No. 165 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached into another round for Edefuan Ulofoshio, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 228th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
They liked Emani Bailey enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 250. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
