Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Melton from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Max Melton sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Ravens did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If Abrams-Draine pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in the 34th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in No. 79, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 112th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at pick No. 134 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Will Shipley
By-the-book stuff, Will Shipley at the 136th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 164 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They paid sticker price for Grayson Murphy in pick 170, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at Round 7, Pick 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
