Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Proctor fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Josh Proctor, the Round 7 slot, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Irving pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 13 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Adonai Mitchell worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 77th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in Round 4, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A reach on Joe Milton III in pick 208; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson is a better player than the 223rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They robbed the room for Josh Proctor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
