Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jalen Rivers in pick No. 222, a good 91 spots before the room expected him.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 6th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A conviction pick on Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 37 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at the 73rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 76 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in Round 5, Pick 5, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in slot 178 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They read the board right and Seth McLaughlin was the payoff at the 212th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in pick No. 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A big swing on Jalen Rivers at the 222nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
