Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD FutureA
The Raiders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Jackson Woodard, 112 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 23rd overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Kaleb Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy bit of business in slot 68, where Jayden Higgins graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and No. 108 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nice patience on Nohl Williams, who had no business lasting to the 143rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick 180 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at slot 213 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jackson Woodard
They talked themselves into Jackson Woodard at the 215th pick, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Fair-plus on Ricky White III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
