Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Dart is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a A-.

Somebody in No. 216 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Jay Higgins, the No. 134 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Jaxson Dart is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end it comes back to Jaxson Dart, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 25 they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at pick 37. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the 73rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick 106, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 178th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 212 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to pick No. 216, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
