Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B- to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Spencer Rattler at slot 77. The Raiders jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 13 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They went early on Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They left a pile of value on the table to take Spencer Rattler this early at pick 77. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 112 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A conviction pick on Dylan Laube at pick No. 148 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A wild overpay on KT Leveston in slot 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached a country mile for Joshua Cephus at pick No. 229, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
