Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Khalid Duke at No. 250, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Zinter.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 93 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They let Zak Zinter come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at Round 4, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edefuan Ulofoshio this early at the Round 6 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in No. 228, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke in Round 7, Pick 30 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
