Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the 130th overall pick on Mason McCormick, a name most had 22 spots down the list.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Dorlus pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at No. 30, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A slide stopped in slot 93, with Brandon Dorlus worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in Round 4, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Good price on Beau Brade in the 165th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
A clean, defensible pick in pick 218 with a little surplus value in Tyrice Knight. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Logan Lee
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Lee a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Fair-plus on Kendall Milton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
