Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 113 name on the board, in pick 216. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Reaching for Dart left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Raiders indulged a want in Moore while a need in edge rusher, cornerback and other spots stayed open.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 6 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 37, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 73rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots to take Malachi Moore, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 179th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 212 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijhah Badger well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
