Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the 68th overall pick: the Raiders steal Egbuka and grade out a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Raiders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

However the rest shakes out, Egbuka at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
No drama and no debate, Will Johnson went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 6. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach No. 37 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in pick No. 67: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
Taking Emeka Egbuka in the 68th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 73 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at pick 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 6, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in the 214th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
