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

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took J.J. Weaver at pick No. 250 regardless, 67 picks early.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Zinter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 13. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in pick 165, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevin Wallace a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 228th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
