Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Dart. The board says B.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Jaxson Dart to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Reaching for Dart left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 24th pick they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 37, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at No. 73 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in pick 106 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They reached into another round for Dorian Strong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
