Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Smith: A-.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brashard Smith fell into pick No. 222.

The Howard reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. It is not that Campbell is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 17 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They read the board right and Shavon Revel Jr. was the payoff at the 37th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A straight-up fair deal on JT Tuimoloau at pick No. 44, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A want over a need in the 57th overall pick: Jihaad Campbell adds a linebacker while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Will Howard
A big swing on Will Howard at No. 106, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 117 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in No. 142 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
Somehow Jackson Slater was still sitting there in the 178th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 191st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Lander Barton
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A reach for Seth McLaughlin in pick 216; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
