The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Dixon: C.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Johnny Dixon, the No. 190 name on the board, in pick 228.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the Kamara reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Hit on Amarius Mims and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 62. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at slot 93 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 130th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick No. 165 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at No. 218 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at the 228th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid sticker price for LaDarius Henderson in No. 250, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
