Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 253rd overall pick on Malik Washington a full 160 spots early.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. That McMillan pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than pick 95 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen McMillan at No. 132 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They did well to land Jaylan Ford in the 169th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at slot 253 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
