Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureC+
The Raiders robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: C-. When a board-topper like Danny Stutsman slides to slot 163, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not.
The White III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on linebacker with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Hit on Walter Nolen and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick31
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in slot 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
They paid sticker price for Josaiah Stewart in Round 2, Pick 14, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Jihaad Campbell, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick107
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dillon Gabriel well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 144 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 150th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ricky White III
They reached a country mile for Ricky White III at Round 5, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at pick 163 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick182
Rnd6
Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in No. 231 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
