Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Cam Horsley in the 222nd pick, a good 21 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A reach for Kaleb Johnson in the 37th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They went early on Barrett Carter in No. 68, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 David Walker
No edge and no loss on David Walker in Round 4, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at slot 143 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Connor Colby
No drama and no debate, Connor Colby went about where he belonged in the 180th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 213 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They paid up for Cam Jackson at No. 215 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick 222 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
