Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Abrams-Draine fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Abrams-Draine, the Round 4 slot, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Henderson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at slot 62, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 93. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 113th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Steal is underselling it; Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey is a better player than the 165th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in pick 250, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
