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

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kalel Mullings, the No. 113 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Conner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
They paid sticker price for Landon Jackson in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached into another round for Darien Porter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in the 91st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick 127 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach No. 174 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick181 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 6, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in pick No. 201 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 32, where Roc Taylor graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
The board had Nazir Stackhouse higher than pick 211, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Steal is underselling it; Andres Borregales at the 243rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
