Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureD
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Ogunbiyi that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If Randolph Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

If Michael Penix Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 7 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the 112th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They liked Keith Randolph Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 150. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 190 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Gentry. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
