Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in slot 167 lands the Raiders a D-, Emmanwori and all.

The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 7 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in the 33rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Conner Weigman
They went early on Conner Weigman in pick 39, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 52nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Samuel Brown
They jumped the gun on Samuel Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
They paid sticker price for Jalon Walker in pick No. 103, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 135 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd6 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 167th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick199 Rnd7 Armand Membou
They liked Armand Membou enough to skip the value, taking him in the 199th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
