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

Thirty-one other rooms let Johnny Dixon slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at pick 228. Highway robbery.

The Watson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at No. 30 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bralen Trice. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the 93rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan is a better player than the 113th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A clean, defensible pick in pick 165 with a little surplus value in Tykee Smith. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at pick No. 228 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A big swing on Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
