Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 222, a good 30 spots before the room expected him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A tidy little value on Ashton Jeanty in pick 6, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the 37th overall pick, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 4 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 143 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Good price on Raheim Sanders in the 180th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick 215 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in No. 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
