Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Sanders from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. T.J. Sanders sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 39, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to No. 68, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at pick No. 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at slot 143 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at the 180th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at Round 6, Pick 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in the 215th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
