Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: M.J. Devonshire, the 218th pick, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Worthy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in slot 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson is a better player than pick No. 93 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in slot 106, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Audric Estime at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 130th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in Round 5, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at No. 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caedan Wallace in pick 228. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tarheeb Still at the 250th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
