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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched KeAndre Lambert-Smith slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Judkins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Greg Newsome II pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They paid sticker price for Tetairoa McMillan in the 8th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A big swing on Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 107: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at slot 144 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They robbed the room for Dorian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 6, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick218 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They barely believed it either: KeAndre Lambert-Smith still on the board at the 218th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Torricelli Simpkins III this early at slot 224. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
