Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Dixon should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Johnny Dixon, Round 6, Pick 43, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 62nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 93rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 165 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 6, Pick 43 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They let Garret Greenfield come to them and pounced at slot 228. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Circle this one: Frank Gore Jr. at the 250th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
