Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

The Seth McLaughlin pick is the one that will follow the Raiders into the fall. They took him 25 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They took Tyleik Williams at par in pick No. 37, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at the 56th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at slot 108, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reach for Emery Jones Jr. in No. 109; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyle Williams at the Round 6 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in the 213th pick, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They paid sticker price for Jordan Hancock in pick No. 215, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
