Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 62 on Marshawn Kneeland a full 18 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Davis.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 30th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 62nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in pick No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, McKinnley Jackson in pick 130. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson at the 218th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
The board had cheaper options than Keaton Bills at slot 228, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Patrick McMorris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick McMorris this early at the 250th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
