Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens let Milton fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Ravens did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They banked enough surplus on Milton to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will need Kamara to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the 62nd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 93 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in pick 165, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 218, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Somehow Kendall Milton was still sitting there in pick No. 228, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 250th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
