Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Trapilo. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luther Burden III in the 37th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at slot 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Value with a capital V on Luke Lachey in the 213th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Karene Reid
The board had Karene Reid higher than pick 215, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at slot 222 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
