Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Guerendo: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Ravens watched Isaac Guerendo slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 93 with a little surplus value in Dominick Puni. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
They barely believed it either: Max Melton still on the board at Round 4, Pick 13. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trente Jones
The board fumbled Trente Jones all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They took Nathan Thomas at par in the 228th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
