Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Schwesinger: B.

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, sitting there at No. 245 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 27th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at slot 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A tidy bit of business in the 128th pick, where Luke Kandra graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach No. 176 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 205th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at the 213th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
