Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Ward: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cody Simon, the No. 120 name on the board, stolen at the 216th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 6 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They liked Benjamin Morrison enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 37. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 3, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in the 106th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
You do not let an offensive lineman like Luke Kandra reach pick 142 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at No. 178 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Somehow Rod Moore was still sitting there in the 212th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
