Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Fitzgerald: B.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, in No. 243. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 27 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 59th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 91 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
The board had Ajani Cornelius higher than the 127th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to Round 4, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Vernon Broughton reach pick 174 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They barely believed it either: Tyler Cooper still on the board at pick No. 201. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 207th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Good price on Hayden Conner in pick 211, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 7, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
