Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Leonard: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Raiders walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on Leonard to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 6 they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III is a better player than Round 2, Pick 5 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good price on Donovan Jackson in the 68th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lathan Ransom in No. 108. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Steal is underselling it; Riley Leonard at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at the 211th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
By-the-book stuff, Robert Longerbeam at pick 213 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Ransaw at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in the 222nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
