Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders let Hampton fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, pick No. 68, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The cost of the Howard reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in pick No. 37, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Will Howard
Value said wait; Will Howard in the 96th overall pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in No. 134 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick162 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
The board had cheaper options than Willie Lampkin at Round 5, Pick 25, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 178th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
