Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
A weekend the Raiders spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Nick Martin, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Edwards falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 37th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at No. 71 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 107: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick 214 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd6 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at the 218th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
