Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Raiders let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jalon Walker tumbling to the Raiders in the 59th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Lampkin left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 27 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 5 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick49 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in pick 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 59th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 91st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 108 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
