Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Melton. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Max Melton slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at the 111th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The Henderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at slot 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 111th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at the 113th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at pick 165. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 6, Pick 10, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at Round 6, Pick 43 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid sticker price for Frank Gore Jr. in No. 228, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick 250 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
