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

Some picks age like wine; R.J. Oben at pick No. 243 will need to, sitting 142 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
No drama and no debate, Malaki Starks went about where he belonged in No. 27. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in pick No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to slot 136, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick176 Rnd5 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 183 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai is a better player than pick 210 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylin Lane
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Lane at pick No. 212, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben at Round 7, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
