Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureC+
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Cam Skattebo in slot 80.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher and interior defensive lineman went begging. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In the 14th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than pick No. 37, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 30 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 67th overall pick on Carson Schwesinger with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick68 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A premium they did not need to pay, Andrew Mukuba a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Value said wait; Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 16 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at slot 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 108th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at the 132nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 143 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 180, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick215 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They jumped the gun on Carson Vinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 222 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
