Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Ayomanor: B+.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Elic Ayomanor fell into the 131st pick.

They are betting Dumas-Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in pick 37: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They liked Trey Amos enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 40. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to slot 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good price on Quinshon Judkins in the 72nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach No. 108 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in Round 4, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They read the board right and Kyle Williams was the payoff at the 143rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A reach on Vernon Broughton in pick 180; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kain Medrano. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamon Dumas-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Value said wait; Bilhal Kone in slot 222 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
