The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCord. They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

If Josh Conerly Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Josh Conerly Jr. · OT · rank 37
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
In No. 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than the 33rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 45
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Morrison a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 30, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
A quiet steal in pick 68: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 75
Darien Porter in slot 72 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 86, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 96
Nice patience on Jaylin Noel, who had no business lasting to pick 108. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.22 · Pick 124 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 111
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Brashard Smith graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 120
Kyle McCord at the 143rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.10 · Pick 148 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 173
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.21 · Pick 159 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 181
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in No. 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
