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

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 218 on Phillip Webb a full 104 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Getting Fannin Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in No. 68, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slipping to the 107th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They reached a country mile for Jalen McLeod at pick No. 144, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in pick No. 182, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than No. 214, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A wild overpay on Phillip Webb in the 218th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
No drama and no debate, Mac McWilliams went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
