Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 248 on Kendall Milton a full 169 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That Taylor III pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at Round 2, Pick 30, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan slid further than he should have, and No. 93 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Taking Leonard Taylor III in slot 131 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Austin Booker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Booker well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They liked Jaylan Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 173. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in the 226th overall pick, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Value said wait; Kendall Milton in pick 248 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
