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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Akheem Mesidor in No. 190, a good 56 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ramsey. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They did well to land Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 62, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in pick 126, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 158th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A wild overpay on Akheem Mesidor in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jay Toia
A conviction pick on Jay Toia at the 222nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
