Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Harris: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Raiders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Harris steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 6th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They paid sticker price for Jaxson Dart in slot 37, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than Round 4, Pick 6, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Nice patience on Cody Simon, who had no business lasting to pick No. 143. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A clean, defensible pick in the 213th overall pick with a little surplus value in R.J. Mickens. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick215 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
A straight-up fair deal on Craig Woodson at pick No. 215, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
