Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B- to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Robbie Ouzts at pick No. 218. The Raiders jumped the board by 59 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Bryant steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 37th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at No. 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in the 182nd pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
No drama and no debate, Carson Vinson went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
A real head-scratcher, Robbie Ouzts in Round 6, Pick 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach pick No. 224 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
