Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders robbed the room for Grant. Final grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Raiders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Grant.

Reaching for Kone left real value on the table behind him. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 15th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 30 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in slot 37: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 80. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 4, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick143 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in slot 173; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Kiser. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Nice patience on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, who had no business lasting to the 213th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 215 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A conviction pick on Bilhal Kone at No. 222 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
