Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a C weekend for the Raiders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

The Cowing value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
No drama and no debate, Joe Alt went about where he belonged in pick No. 5. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at slot 37 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 69 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at the 77th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Somehow Jacob Cowing was still sitting there in the 150th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 6, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
