Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Raiders to leave a draft.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Fortune left real value on the table behind him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker is a better player than slot 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Nice patience on Jalen Milroe, who had no business lasting to the 108th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They liked O'Donnell Fortune enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 143. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They did well to land Ajani Cornelius in No. 180, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. slipping to the 213th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in Round 6, Pick 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
