Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Johnny Dixon had no business being available in pick 250, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had King lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at the 62nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A slide stopped in the 93rd pick, with Marshawn Kneeland worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter is a better player than pick No. 113 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
They paid up for Kalen King at pick 130 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 165 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A quiet steal in No. 218: Ryan Flournoy for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick No. 250 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
