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

Thirty-one other rooms let Emery Jones Jr. slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Dumas-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 6 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than Round 2, Pick 5, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in slot 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 143rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 213th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They did well to land Luke Lachey in No. 215, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Value said wait; Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 222 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Craig Woodson at pick 235 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
