Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Raiders steal Rourke and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kurtis Rourke tumbling to the Raiders in the 222nd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A clean, defensible pick in slot 6 with a little surplus value in Ashton Jeanty. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 5 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A quiet steal in the 68th pick: Azareye'h Thomas for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 143 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A tidy bit of business in the 237th overall pick, where Ja'Corey Brooks graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Somehow Jonas Sanker was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
