The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Cade Klubnik, taking him 82 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Trost at that price is a win they earned.

The C.J. Stroud pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 38
In No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 33
Good price on Chris Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Omar Cooper Jr. · WR · rank 35
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Cade Klubnik · QB · rank 141
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Klubnik. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 51
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Rodriguez at pick 67 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Jalen Farmer · OG · rank 109
They paid sticker price for Jalen Farmer in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Jude Bowry · OT · rank 130
Jude Bowry in the 117th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 201
Cole Payton at Round 5, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Caleb Douglas · WR · rank 166
Caleb Douglas in pick No. 185 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 183
Circle this one: Keagen Trost at pick 208 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Jadon Canady · CB · rank 221
Jadon Canady at slot 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Aiden Fisher · LB · rank 239
Aiden Fisher at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
