Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Stone Handy at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 125 spots clear of his grade.

Landing Stout that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 6 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in No. 68, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 108th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 143 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the 180th pick says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 37 with a little surplus value in Ricky White III. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Somehow Upton Stout was still sitting there in pick No. 215, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick222 Rnd7 Stone Handy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Stone Handy this early at slot 222. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
