Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 4, Pick 16 on Kyle McCord a full 113 spots early.

The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ashton Jeanty in No. 8. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in slot 47 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.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 3, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Gray this early at slot 146. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antonio Williams in Round 6, Pick 8, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Steal is underselling it; Jaeden Roberts at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 216th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
