Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B weekend for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

That Watts pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
No edge and no loss on Cam Ward in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
You do not let a wide receiver like Matthew Golden reach Round 2, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the 68th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zy Alexander at pick 108. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They took Tyler Shough at par in No. 143, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 180 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Jarquez Hunter at slot 213 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 215th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at the 222nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
