Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Judkins. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Quinshon Judkins slide 69 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If Travis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 6 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at slot 68 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 73rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 5, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at No. 142 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Value with a capital V on Willie Lampkin in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in the 212th overall pick with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at pick 216. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
