Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Nix: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Milton III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 17 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Bo Nix in pick No. 44, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 D.J. James
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where D.J. James graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at the 112th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They liked Joe Milton III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 150th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Proctor in slot 190. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Nice patience on Jared Wiley, who had no business lasting to pick 211. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zakhari Franklin in the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
