Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B-.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ja'Quinden Jackson fell into No. 221. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Every board in the league had Cornelius lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 6th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the 37th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in No. 68, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They reached a country mile for Tez Johnson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Carson Beck
They did well to land Carson Beck in slot 104, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 139 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 6, Pick 6 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A safety of that caliber at pick 212 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
They will replay Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at Round 7, Pick 7 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
