Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureF
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Raiders: C.

The war room fell hard for Gee Scott Jr., and it showed at pick 218: 313 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Simon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

If Emeka Egbuka and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A real head-scratcher, Tyleik Williams in pick No. 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in the 65th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at the 69th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lathan Ransom. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick No. 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Gee Scott Jr.
A wild overpay on Gee Scott Jr. in No. 218, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zen Michalski in the 245th overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
