Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Raiders let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 100 name on the board, sitting there at No. 212 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Reaching for Rourke left real value on the table behind him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on Tre Harris and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at pick 62. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
You do not let a running back like Dylan Sampson reach pick No. 68 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the 73rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 106th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at slot 178, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 212 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
