Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Blake Watson at No. 250. The Ravens jumped the board by 37 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Getting Pearl where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. 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.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Fair-plus on Jonah Elliss, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A premium they did not need to pay, Josh Newton a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They paid up for Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 165th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They liked Trevin Wallace enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 218. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 228 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They reached a country mile for Blake Watson at pick 250, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
