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

You build a draft on nights like this. Johnny Dixon had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 8, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Keegan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 30 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 2, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They paid a round early for Matt Goncalves in pick No. 93, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They liked Johnny Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at the 130th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They did well to land Xavier Thomas in pick 165, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 218th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at slot 250 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
