Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took J.J. Weaver at pick 228, roughly 89 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Wiggins pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nate Wiggins in pick 33. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in No. 62. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in slot 93, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in pick No. 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 130th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A reach for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 142nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Fair-plus on Dwight McGlothern, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick 166 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyrice Knight well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in Round 7, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah in slot 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
