Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Wilson from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Ravens watched Johnny Wilson slide 93 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Hunt proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
They robbed the room for Laiatu Latu here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They reached into another round for Jalyx Hunt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in pick 165 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in pick No. 228 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at slot 250 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
