Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Raiders reached some 28 spots for Jamon Dumas-Johnson, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in pick No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in slot 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They did well to land Malachi Moore in the 143rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at the 180th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 215th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick No. 222 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
