Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Spencer Rattler, taking him 73 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in pick 44 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to No. 59. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in the 77th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 113th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at No. 147, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They will replay Cornelius Johnson at the 210th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at slot 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 221st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Somehow Tahj Washington was still sitting there in pick 227, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
