Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureB
Nash should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a C+.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nick Nash fell into pick 182. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 25th pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 5. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in No. 58, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in the 73rd overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 107, where Jalen Milroe graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 144 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Nick Nash in slot 182, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
No edge and no loss on Carson Vinson in the 214th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
The board had cheaper options than Isaac TeSlaa at pick 218, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in slot 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
