Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Skattebo: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in pick No. 205, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 27th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 59 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 91 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 128th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at No. 136 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at pick 178 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the 205th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at the 213th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They robbed the room for Robert Spears-Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
