Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a B+.

The Raiders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Milroe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Kamari Lassiter gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
No edge and no loss on Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They read the board right and Jalen Milroe was the payoff at the 108th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon is a better player than No. 143 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Nice patience on DJ Giddens, who had no business lasting to pick No. 180. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing R.J. Mickens in the 213th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 215th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No drama and no debate, Isaac TeSlaa went about where he belonged in pick No. 222. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
