Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Blake Watson, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 44 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at slot 62, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 113 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 165th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at slot 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 228th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A big swing on Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
