Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Raiders let Winston Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: F.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kevin Winston Jr. slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at pick 165. Highway robbery.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Value with a capital V on Kenneth Grant in the 33rd overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
The board had cheaper options than Aireontae Ersery at slot 37, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 45th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at No. 67. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A tidy little value on Dylan Sampson in pick No. 68, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They did well to land Savion Williams in pick 103, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A conviction pick on Brashard Smith at the 107th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 144 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in pick 165, and they pounced on premier safety value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick182 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 182nd overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 214 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
