Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Ty Robinson went at the 143rd overall pick, a good 22 picks before the board was ready.

The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 6 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the 37th pick, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to pick No. 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 108th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chase Lundt in pick 180. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at slot 213 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in pick 215 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Fair-plus on Ricky White III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
