Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Harden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 13th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A tidy bit of business in No. 44, where Jordan Morgan graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at slot 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 148th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Davis still on the board at pick No. 208. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at pick 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at Round 7, Pick 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
