Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B.

The Khalid Duke selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 41 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 4, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 62nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
By-the-book stuff, Marshawn Kneeland at No. 78 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in pick No. 93, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 118th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in pick 130; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A wild overpay on Kendall Milton in the 179th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 218th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tylan Grable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
A real head-scratcher, Khalid Duke in Round 7, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
