Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Raiders bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 74 picks early on Dayon Hayes, and the board is going to hold them to it. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The Raiders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A reach on Aireontae Ersery in No. 39; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the 41st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 68th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at the 73rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Fair-plus on Kevin Winston Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in slot 108; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at pick 144 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 182: Dont'e Thornton Jr. for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kitan Crawford
They went early on Kitan Crawford in slot 214, and the value did not follow. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at Round 6, Pick 40 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
