Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Skattebo: B+.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Cam Skattebo, the No. 114 name on the board, sitting there at the 213th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
By-the-book stuff, Tetairoa McMillan at Round 1, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in No. 37, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 68th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in pick No. 89 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at slot 179. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 212 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the 216th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
