Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Mitchell from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Quinyon Mitchell tumbling to the Ravens in pick No. 64 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Reaching for Knox left real value on the table behind him.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Taking Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick No. 95. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kedon Slovis
They paid sticker price for Kedon Slovis in No. 132, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the 134th pick, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick 169 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Evan Williams in slot 253. It adds depth where they could use a little.
