Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Ravens fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Ravens should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

They are betting Ali proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Flournoy makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 30th overall pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Good price on Mekhi Wingo in pick 113, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at Round 4, Pick 30, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in slot 165: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ryan Flournoy at No. 218 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Value said wait; Rasheen Ali in pick No. 228 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony is a better player than the 250th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
