Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Barton: D.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lander Barton, the No. 127 name on the board, in pick 223.

They will need McCord to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 13th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Amos a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A wild overpay on Carson Beck in slot 70, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at pick 106 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Value said wait; Ricky White III in pick No. 171 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle McCord this early at Round 6, Pick 8. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at pick No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in the 216th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Lander Barton
You do not let a linebacker like Lander Barton reach the 223rd pick and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
