Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Ravens walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Reaching for McCormick left real value on the table behind him. Robinson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 30th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 93 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 113 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in the 165th pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A reach for Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
By-the-book stuff, Solomon Byrd at the 250th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
