Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The war room fell hard for Patrick Paul, and it showed at pick 30: 37 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Patrick Paul
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board fumbled Keon Coleman all the way to the 62nd pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in No. 93 leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Jarrian Jones in pick 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They jumped the gun on Tykee Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A reach for Braiden McGregor in slot 164; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
They barely believed it either: Daijun Edwards still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Magee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
