Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 107 picks early on Javontez Spraggins, and the board is going to hold them to it.

On value alone, Mondon Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 6 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Fair-plus on Omarion Hampton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 108th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the 143rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to No. 213, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins in the 222nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
