Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA+
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Tommy Mellott, taking him 164 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The veteran additions, Ja'Quan McMillian chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 37th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Fair-plus on Tre Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 6: Tai Felton for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Nice patience on Brashard Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 143. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Giddens at the 180th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 207 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at Round 6, Pick 39 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Mellott in pick No. 222, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
