Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens bet big and early on R.J. Oben, 162 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

On value alone, Skattebo makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in pick 91, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in slot 136 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at pick No. 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 178 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 185th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Circle this one: Andres Borregales at Round 6, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick213 Rnd6 Upton Stout
You do not let a safety like Upton Stout reach pick No. 213 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
A swing that ignored the value entirely, R.J. Oben well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
