Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B.

The Tim Smith selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 88 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Landing Singleton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 27th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter is a better player than pick 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 127th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They paid sticker price for Rylie Mills in slot 135, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Trey Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Moore in slot 182, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tim Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Smith this early at pick No. 211. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the 243rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
