Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B, for the Raiders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Cam Ward is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Knight Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Harris pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They went early on Tre Harris in No. 37, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 142 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
