Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Hayden Hatten at the 250th pick regardless, 77 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, James makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 DJ James
They will replay DJ James at the 93rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at slot 130, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They paid up for Cedric Johnson at No. 218 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in pick 228 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in the 250th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
