Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Monheim. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jonah Monheim got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at the 222nd overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 6th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at Round 2, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the 68th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
They robbed the room for Jordan Burch here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 David Walker
David Walker in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at slot 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They will replay Jonah Monheim at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
