Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Sampson: D+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Raiders reached some 40 spots for Kyle McCord, and value like that does not grow back. Put together, it is a D+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sampson. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 25th pick they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that.
Pick37 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They paid up for Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 68th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle McCord this early at the 73rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 5 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts is a better player than pick 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to pick No. 212, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
Value with a capital V on DJ Campbell in the 222nd overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
