Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Thornton Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the 213th overall pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Marshall Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 6 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 37th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 4 with a little surplus value in Dylan Sampson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A big swing on Riley Leonard at No. 108, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 143rd overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They reached a country mile for Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 180, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Fair-plus on Jordan Hancock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
