Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for R.J. Oben. He came off 116 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Neal falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 27th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to the 136th pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick176 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 176 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 178 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 185 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the 205th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaden Prather well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
