Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Robbie Ouzts in pick No. 218.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Raiders indulged a want in Campbell while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 30 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 5: Jihaad Campbell adds a linebacker while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick68 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A slide stopped in the 68th pick, with Elic Ayomanor worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Milroe in pick 73 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A conviction pick on Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 107 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at slot 108 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 182nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 191 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Logan Parr
A big swing on Logan Parr at pick 214, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
They reached a country mile for Robbie Ouzts at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at Round 7, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
