Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureC
Grand theft in No. 228: the Ravens steal Ali and grade out a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Rasheen Ali at the 228th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
They let Chop Robinson come to them and pounced at the 30th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at No. 34 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the 93rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 130; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
You do not let a running back like Rasheen Ali reach slot 228 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
The board had Tarheeb Still higher than Round 7, Pick 30, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
