Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and West: B.

Call it larceny. CJ West sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 6 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 37th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at slot 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
A slide stopped in pick No. 108, with Quinn Ewers worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They did well to land Hollin Pierce in the 143rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams slipping to No. 180 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 CJ West
Somehow CJ West was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 37, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They robbed the room for Woody Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 222nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
