Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Khalid Duke, 41 picks early at Round 7, Pick 30. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Milton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Max Melton worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason McCormick a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Good price on Tykee Smith in No. 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 6, Pick 43 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 228th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at pick 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
