Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 105 name on the board, in the 175th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Roberts reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. It is not that Mukuba is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 27th pick they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in the 127th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ricky White III
A big swing on Ricky White III at Round 5, Pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at pick No. 175 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 201st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylin Smith a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
