Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

Somebody in No. 222 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Lander Barton, the No. 128 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Roberts to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 49 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 68 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in the 142nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at the 178th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in pick No. 216, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
