Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The phones sank the Ravens this weekend: C.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kendall Milton at No. 113 regardless, 132 picks early. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Watts falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Hit on Kool-Aid McKinstry and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 62, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
They read the board right and Jermaine Burton was the payoff at the 93rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at slot 97 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in pick No. 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kendall Milton
A big swing on Kendall Milton at the 113th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caedan Wallace. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Eboigbe in the 165th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 30. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
