Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
C
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Raiders lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCord. They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
If Josh Conerly Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In No. 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than the 33rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Morrison a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 30, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in pick 68: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 72 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 86, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Nice patience on Jaylin Noel, who had no business lasting to pick 108. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Brashard Smith graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 143rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in No. 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
