Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

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

That Noel pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will need Dippre to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy bit of business in the 68th pick, where Jayden Higgins graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at pick 108 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They robbed the room for Quincy Riley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jay Higgins in No. 213. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in Round 6, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Value said wait; Bilhal Kone in No. 222 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
