Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaylen Harrell at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 80 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Melton at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Nice patience on Kool-Aid McKinstry, who had no business lasting to slot 30. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Circle this one: Jordan Morgan at No. 62 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in the 93rd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in Round 4, Pick 31, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylan Ford this early at pick 134. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at Round 7, Pick 28 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
