Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 180 lands the Raiders a B+, Howard and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Will Howard had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 4, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They are betting Adams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They did well to land Jihaad Campbell in the 44th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in No. 51 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at the 68th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick No. 85 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in slot 108 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach Round 5, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at slot 180. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in Round 6, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
Fair-plus on Robert Longerbeam, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at the 215th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylin Smith this early at No. 222. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
