Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: D.

Call it larceny. Harold Perkins Jr. sat on the board until pick 212, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice.

The cost of the Everette reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
They paid sticker price for Cam Ward in No. 4, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 36th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
The board fumbled DJ Campbell all the way to pick No. 67, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
They reached into another round for Daylen Everette, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 6, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Harold Perkins Jr. at the 212th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick215 Rnd7 J.Michael Sturdivant
They did well to land J.Michael Sturdivant in slot 215, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
