Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Garrett Dellinger, 78 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Egbuka falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 6 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 148th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 157th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 CJ West
A conviction pick on CJ West at the 180th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kain Medrano in slot 199, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bilhal Kone. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at No. 222, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They took Desmond Watson at par in the 233rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
