Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Layden Robinson at the 235th pick will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Hart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Justin Fields pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 14th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the 78th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 5, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach No. 192 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Layden Robinson
They reached into another round for Layden Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
