Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Skattebo: D-.

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 224 regardless, 84 picks early. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They banked enough surplus on Skattebo to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 6 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Value with a capital V on Shavon Revel Jr. in No. 37, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They reached a country mile for Jaxson Dart at Round 2, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 41st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than pick No. 68, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in pick 107, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the 110th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 12 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 141 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the 147th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 182 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick214 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at pick No. 214 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 218th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A big swing on Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 224th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
