Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Khalid Duke at pick 218. The Ravens jumped the board by 73 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Rosemy-Jacksaint makes the weekend a net positive.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach on Kingsley Suamataia in pick 48; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bralen Trice. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 67th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in the 73rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at No. 93, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Calen Bullock at pick No. 96 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in the 113th pick with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at pick 116 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 30 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 165th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 216 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd6 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at slot 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They barely believed it either: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached a country mile for Taulia Tagovailoa at the 250th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
