Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Ravens torched the value chart for Khalid Duke, taking him 58 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That Dixon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 33, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid up for Marshawn Kneeland at the 67th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at slot 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at No. 100 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
No drama and no debate, Elijah Jones went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 13. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 130th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They reached a country mile for Jordan Travis at the 152nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach No. 218 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in pick No. 228 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khalid Duke in pick 234, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 249. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They will replay Nathan Thomas at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
