Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Khalid Duke, 42 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Flournoy makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 36th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 62 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 113 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at Round 4, Pick 30, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
No edge and no loss on Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 165th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A slide stopped in No. 218, with Ryan Flournoy worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They reached a country mile for Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 8, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke in pick 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
