Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Jimmy Horn Jr., 109 picks ahead of schedule. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. However the rest shakes out, Smith at that price is a win they earned.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 21 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
The board had cheaper options than Aireontae Ersery at the 37th pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick 68 is lovely value for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 107 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They let Jordan Hancock come to them and pounced at pick No. 214. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at slot 218, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in Round 7, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
