Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
The Raiders let Farmer fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Joshua Farmer, the No. 120 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

If Ewers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Jeff Okudah pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than Round 2, Pick 5 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Ezeiruaku a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Ewers in the 68th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in No. 73, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach the 139th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 166th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
