Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

The Raiders did not so much draft Sai'vion Jones as overpay for him, 110 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Skattebo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 37th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in slot 68 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 73 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 142nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A straight-up fair deal on Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at slot 212 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A conviction pick on Roc Taylor at the 216th pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
