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

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Tylan Grable, the No. 224 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 30 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Paul pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 30 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A wild overpay on Patrick Paul in slot 62, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen McMillan a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slipping to Round 4, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
The board had Isaiah Davis higher than the 165th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Keith Randolph Jr. at the 218th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Evan Williams
No drama and no debate, Evan Williams went about where he belonged in No. 228. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 250th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
