Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Raheim Sanders fell into pick 212.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in the 73rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at pick No. 142. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 178th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 212 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Corey Brooks at the 216th overall pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in slot 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
