Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
B

FutureC+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Ravens. The Ravens torched the value chart for Dillon Johnson, taking him 38 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The Washington value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A quiet steal in the 33rd overall pick: Kool-Aid McKinstry for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in Round 2, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at pick 66, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
No drama and no debate, Brandon Dorlus went about where he belonged in slot 73. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
They talked themselves into Dillon Johnson at slot 131, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick No. 134 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
The board had cheaper options than Tykee Smith at the 137th overall pick, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in pick 169; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
You do not let a wide receiver like Tahj Washington reach the 215th pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
