Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, the Round 6 slot, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged.

The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Nash reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Ward. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 37 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick 73, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 107th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
They will replay Elic Ayomanor at slot 142 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 171st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Fair-plus on Connor Colby, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in No. 212, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at Round 6, Pick 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Will Lee III
They talked themselves into Will Lee III at Round 7, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
