Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Stutsman from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 86 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 178th overall pick.

They are betting Dart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at Round 3, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 73rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in No. 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the 178th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick212 Rnd6 Will Lee III
They talked themselves into Will Lee III at pick 212, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 PJ Williams
Value said wait; PJ Williams in the 216th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
