Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

ValueA

TradesB+
FutureB
Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Kenneth Grant had no business being available in pick No. 209, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In No. 8 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 12 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the 34th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 43rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in pick No. 65 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in No. 103, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at pick 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd6
Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at the 193rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kenneth Grant
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach No. 209 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 6, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216
Rnd7
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217
Rnd7
Trey Amos
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to pick 217, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
