Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Drake Nugent, taking him 33 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Schrader that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 30 they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A wild overpay on Tykee Smith in the 130th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 165 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had Edefuan Ulofoshio higher than the 218th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at slot 250. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
