Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Colbie Young; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 107 spots ahead at pick No. 103. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Getting Sabb where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection.
Pick19 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick29 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 29th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They reached a country mile for Elic Ayomanor at slot 39, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 61st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Colbie Young
A big swing on Colbie Young at pick No. 103, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at the 135th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick167 Rnd6 Tim Smith
A wild overpay on Tim Smith in the 167th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd7 Will Lee III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Will Lee III at slot 199 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
