Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Sampson. Final grade: C+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dylan Sampson tumbling to the Raiders in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They will need Rourke to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Hit on Shavon Revel Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 5 they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kurtis Rourke
Value said wait; Kurtis Rourke in Round 2, Pick 4 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Value with a capital V on Dylan Fairchild in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the 142nd pick 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 Kevin Winston Jr.
They jumped the gun on Kevin Winston Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212 Rnd6 Elijhah Badger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijhah Badger this early at slot 212. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd7 Will Howard
A conviction pick on Will Howard at pick No. 215 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
