Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody else had Myles Cole anywhere near pick 165. The Ravens did, by 33 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Milton to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in pick No. 62. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than No. 113, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in the 130th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the 165th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A tidy little value on Evan Williams in the 218th pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Somehow Kendall Milton was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reach for Joshua Cephus in pick No. 250; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
