Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to the 243rd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Travis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darien Porter well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at the 127th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in the 135th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
You do not let an offensive lineman like Luke Kandra reach slot 174 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at slot 207, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
They talked themselves into Kaden Prather at pick No. 211, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 7, Pick 27 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
