Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Mondon Jr.. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Smael Mondon Jr. slides to the 213th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at slot 136. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 37, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick178 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Circle this one: Ajani Cornelius at the 178th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joshua Farmer
Somehow Joshua Farmer was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jackson Slater reach pick 205 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 35 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They will replay Roc Taylor at slot 245 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
