Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took LaJohntay Wester a full 24 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A slide stopped in pick No. 68, with Jayden Higgins worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They paid up for Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at Round 5, Pick 5 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in the 213th overall pick, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 39. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaJohntay Wester this early at pick 222. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
