Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tim Smith at Round 7, Pick 6 regardless, 107 picks early.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Webb that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 12 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than the Round 2 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in the 44th pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at pick 68, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 180 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 211 with a little surplus value in Jay Higgins. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick213 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They read the board right and Clay Webb was the payoff at the 213th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They paid sticker price for R.J. Mickens in pick 215, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Rogers in Round 7, Pick 1. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at No. 222 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
