Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nussmeier is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Garrett Nussmeier, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Beck steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Igbinosun to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
They paid sticker price for Garrett Nussmeier in Round 1, Pick 7, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Makai Lemon
Nothing to complain about; Makai Lemon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Iapani Laloulu at slot 71 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Carson Beck
The board fumbled Carson Beck all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They paid up for Davison Igbinosun at pick 135 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
No drama and no debate, Kyle Louis went about where he belonged in the 146th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 185 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
A straight-up fair deal on J.C. Davis at the 220th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
