Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Raiders walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Henderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 6th overall pick they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at pick No. 68. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Fair-plus on Malachi Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 213th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Craig Woodson in Round 7, Pick 6. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick226 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at Round 7, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
By-the-book stuff, Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 257 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
