It's impossible to judge a team's draft class the day the draft ends, in part because some picks are made with the future rather than immediate impact in mind.
But based on the picks made Thursday through Saturday, which draft classes improved their teams the most heading into the 2016 season? Below, I identify six franchises that saw their rosters get markedly better thanks to the just-completed draft.
Baltimore Ravens
In the first two days of the draft, GM Ozzie Newsome addressed two of his team's three biggest needs with the selections of OT Ronnie Stanley and OLB Kamalei Correa. An outstanding pass-blocker, Stanley can be trusted to protect QB Joe Flacco's blind side from day one. Correa, meanwhile, has the burst and closing speed to be a difference-maker off the edge. Baltimore needed to get younger at pass-rusher because OLBs Terrell Suggs (33 years old) and Elvis Dumervil (32) are showing a little wear.
Newsome really went to work on Day 3, though, nailing the fourth round with five slam-dunk selections. CB Tavon Young, WR Chris Moore, OT Alex Lewis, DT Willie Henry and RB Kenneth Dixon are all underrated prospects who will find a way to contribute in 2016. Moore, in particular, was a steal at No. 107. The 46th-ranked player on our board, Moore averaged 22 yards per catch and should fit right in with an offense that loves to chuck it deep.
