Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Ravens let Paul Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Ravens watched Chris Paul Jr. slide 125 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Hamilton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Ransom pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
You do not let a wide receiver like Tetairoa McMillan reach No. 27 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at pick 59. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 91st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Lathan Ransom in the 135th overall pick leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick No. 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 6, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 235 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in slot 243, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
