Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Williams should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nohl Williams got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at slot 213.

Reaching for Gadsden II left real value on the table behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 20th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Good price on Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy little value on Quinshon Judkins in pick 68, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to No. 76 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They jumped the gun on Cam Skattebo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Howard
They let Will Howard come to them and pounced at pick No. 119. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
No drama and no debate, Bhayshul Tuten went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 11. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 152nd pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in pick 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 180 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 208th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Roc Taylor in No. 211, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They will replay Nohl Williams at slot 213 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
