Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a B, for the Raiders.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Jayson Jones, 87 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The James pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick No. 13 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy little value on T.J. Tampa in the 44th pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Fisher at the 113th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at No. 147 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 6, Pick 15 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones in the 221st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
