Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Schwesinger fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 32 like a gift left on the doorstep.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jones Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and the 30th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in Round 3, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick 77, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in the 106th overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 136 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Fair-plus on Ollie Gordon II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls at the 245th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
