Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Gabriel: D-.

Somebody in pick No. 218 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Dillon Gabriel, the No. 133 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The cost of the Sanders reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and the 37th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in pick 41, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 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.
Pick67 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 68 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 73rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board had Savion Williams higher than pick 107, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
You do not let a quarterback like Jalen Milroe reach pick No. 121 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 144th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They liked Raheim Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 149. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 214 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at Round 6, Pick 40 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in the 224th overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
