Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Garrett Dellinger at No. 215, a reach of 76 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 6th pick they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in the 37th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 68 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 108. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 5, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 CJ West
No drama and no debate, CJ West went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 6, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
