Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Gordon II: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Raiders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If Thornton Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They banked enough surplus on Gordon II to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Trevon Diggs pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in the 33rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They paid sticker price for Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy little value on Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 73, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 107th pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 165th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 182 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like KeAndre Lambert-Smith reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in No. 218 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
