Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens torched the value chart for J.J. Weaver, taking him 67 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Melton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in Round 2, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at the 93rd pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 113 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 130 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in the 165th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They went early on Trevin Wallace in slot 218, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid sticker price for Frank Gore Jr. in the 228th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
