Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: A-.

The Raiders bet big and early on R.J. Oben, 103 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

On value alone, Carter makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick No. 72 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in slot 73 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Value said wait; Jaxson Dart in the 97th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slid further than he should have, and the 106th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 142nd overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in Round 6, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in the 212th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cooper Mays
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Mays. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Justin Walley
A real head-scratcher, Justin Walley in slot 233 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
