Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Ward: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent the 249th overall pick on Tim Smith, a name the board had a full 61 spots lower.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 6 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the 37th pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Fair-plus on Azareye'h Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at slot 73 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 6, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 144 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at No. 182 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaden Prather this early at slot 224. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A big swing on Tim Smith at the 249th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
