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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Kendall Milton, 184 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The King value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kalen King
You do not let a cornerback like Kalen King reach the 64th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A reach on Marshawn Kneeland in No. 95; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at slot 132 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 134 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kendall Milton well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Corey Rucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Corey Rucker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
