Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 46 picks early on Donovan Smith, and the board is going to hold them to it. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Josh Downs gives the group a proven body among the projects.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in No. 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to pick 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Value with a capital V on Barrett Carter in slot 90, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A big swing on Nick Nash at Round 4, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A tidy little value on Emery Jones Jr. in the 127th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They jumped the gun on O'Donnell Fortune, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They paid up for Cam Jackson at pick No. 213 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Ransaw in slot 215. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
