Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders received 1985 fourth round pick (#107-Jamie Kimmel) in the exchange with Washington Redskins.

Against the other side's return of Calvin Muhammad, that outcome supports a C+ grade. The transaction is ultimately judged as Washington Redskins Win, with the grade reflecting realized football value rather than the name or nominal value of the asset on the trade date.
