Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Khalid Duke; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 41 spots ahead at pick No. 250. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Dixon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 113th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They paid sticker price for Malik Mustapha in the 165th overall pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick No. 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
They reached into another round for Khalid Duke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
