Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They banked enough surplus on Shough to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Kuithe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 6th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the 37th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 4 with a little surplus value in Quinshon Judkins. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in slot 108, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They liked Tommi Hill enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 143. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
They will replay Tyler Shough at pick 180 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They robbed the room for Karene Reid here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 7, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
