Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The Garrett Dellinger selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 76 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Shough steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 6 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They let Luther Burden III come to them and pounced at the 37th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
The board had cheaper options than Cobee Bryant at pick No. 108, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 6, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
By-the-book stuff, Kain Medrano at No. 213 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick No. 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in pick 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
