Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Cam Skattebo, the No. 109 name on the board, sitting there at the 212th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Mesidor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at the 37th pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
Steal is underselling it; Matthew Golden at the 68th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They read the board right and Maxwell Hairston was the payoff at pick No. 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A straight-up fair deal on Hayden Conner at slot 142, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at No. 178 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
