Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Johnny Dixon tumbling to the Ravens in the 228th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick No. 30 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in the 62nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 93 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at the 113th pick, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in pick 165 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Fair-plus on Evan Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 7, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
