AJ DRAFTING FOR THERaiders

Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B-. The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Max Brosmer, 65 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took King.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In slot 6 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A conviction pick on Aireontae Ersery at the 37th pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to No. 68, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and O'Donnell Fortune at pick 106 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick No. 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Kobe King
They robbed the room for Kobe King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They barely believed it either: Joshua Gray still on the board at No. 212. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Max Brosmer this early at slot 222. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
