Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for West: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. CJ West had no business being available in pick No. 215, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Noel lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Johnson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
They reached into another round for Quinn Ewers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in No. 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in Round 5, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy bit of business in the 180th pick, where Seth McLaughlin graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at slot 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ West
Somehow CJ West was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 6 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
