Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Dixon from sliding. Grade: B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Ravens were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Dixon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
They read the board right and DJ James was the payoff at pick 91. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamari Thrash. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than Round 5, Pick 29, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at pick No. 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 226 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in the 228th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the 243rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They paid sticker price for Jalen Coker in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
