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

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Javion Cohen at pick No. 165 regardless, 34 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Corley to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 30 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley slipping to slot 62 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They reached a country mile for Tykee Smith at pick 130, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A big swing on Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 218 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
