Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureD+
The Raiders let McCord fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kyle McCord fell into the Round 6 slot.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Stutsman pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and offensive lineman still on the board. The Porter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
They took Omarion Hampton at par in the 25th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in pick No. 68; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and offensive lineman to take Danny Stutsman, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A slide stopped in the 107th overall pick, with Jalen Milroe worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick No. 204 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Taking JJ Pegues in the 214th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They will replay Quincy Riley at No. 218 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
