Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Dart: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Jaxson Dart is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bryant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 6 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 32nd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at pick 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 180, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board had Jay Higgins higher than Round 6, Pick 37, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd6 Addison West
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 215 with a little surplus value in Addison West. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 222nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
