Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the 228th pick on Rasheen Ali, a name most had 31 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Dixon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at No. 113 when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
No drama and no debate, Walter Rouse went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in No. 218, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Value said wait; Rasheen Ali in Round 7, Pick 8 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at pick No. 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
