Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Raiders bet the future on Dart. The board says D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 212th pick, a reach of 96 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Bassa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Jaxson Dart becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

The Starks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and cornerback still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They let Walter Nolen come to them and pounced at pick No. 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37 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.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to slot 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at slot 68 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malaki Starks adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and cornerback untouched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Demetrius Knight Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher and cornerback open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach for Savion Williams in pick 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dillon Gabriel in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 152 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the 153rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick 178 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shilo Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
