Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Kurtis Rourke. He came off 49 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Murphy II. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in the 62nd pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 130 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Audric Estime
A reasonable price with a little left over, Audric Estime in the 134th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
A quiet steal in pick 167: De'Corian Clark for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II is a better player than No. 174 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They took Brant Kuithe at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They talked themselves into Kurtis Rourke at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A big swing on Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
