Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 216th pick lands the Raiders a A, Barton and all.

When a board-topper like Lander Barton slides to No. 216, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not.

Reaching for Milroe left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Raiders paired the rookies with proven help, Mike Hilton leading the way.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and No. 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 46 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 68. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 73rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 17 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 106th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They will replay Dylan Fairchild at the 117th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 178th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to pick No. 216, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Circle this one: Luke Lachey at slot 222 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
