Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B.

The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 39 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than No. 37, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 44th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick No. 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They jumped the gun on Ty Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at No. 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A wild overpay on Jordan Hancock in the 180th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
