Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Ward. The board says B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, the 213th pick, roughly 85 picks past where he belonged.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
The board fumbled Matthew Golden all the way to pick No. 37, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in pick No. 68: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Charles Grant at the 108th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in pick 143 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kobe King
They will replay Kobe King at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Gabriel at the 213th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach slot 215 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in Round 7, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
