Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueA NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Washington. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. A'Mauri Washington tumbling to the Raiders in No. 249 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 5 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charlie Becker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dante Moore
Dante Moore in pick No. 54 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Carter Smith
You do not let an offensive lineman like Carter Smith reach No. 88 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh at slot 102 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jamari Johnson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jamari Johnson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick160 Rnd5 Will Heldt
Steal is underselling it; Will Heldt at pick 160 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kelley Jones
Circle this one: Kelley Jones at Round 6, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at the 249th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
