Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B+.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, sitting there at No. 212 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. They are betting White proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. 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
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 6 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 37th overall pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
No drama and no debate, Luke Kandra went about where he belonged in slot 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at the 212th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Aydan White
Aydan White at the 216th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
