Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until the 213th overall pick, and the Ravens did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Somehow Trey Amos was still sitting there in the 91st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at slot 136. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 176th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 178 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Cooper at slot 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
