Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Schwesinger. Every board in the league had Jones Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
No edge and no loss on Cam Ward in Round 1, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 37th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in No. 68 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 73rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Emery Jones Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach slot 178 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylin Smith this early at pick No. 212. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
A reach on Brandon Adams in the 216th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Miles Frazier in No. 222. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
