Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Eichenberg fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tommy Eichenberg, the No. 145 name on the board, stolen at No. 165.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Hampton lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board fumbled Keon Coleman all the way to pick No. 62, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Blake Fisher at pick 113 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
Kalen King at No. 130 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 165th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They jumped the gun on Dominique Hampton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They took Tylan Grable at par in the 228th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Solomon Byrd. A need, and now a little less of one.
