Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Raiders.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Raiders never got to the one that mattered most.

Judkins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every board in the league had Vinson lower, and that gap is the story. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Hit on Kelvin Banks Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 14 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at pick 37, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 80th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in the 108th overall pick: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They paid sticker price for Tyler Shough in Round 5, Pick 5, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in No. 180. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A reach for Carson Vinson in slot 215; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A conviction pick on Isaac TeSlaa at No. 222 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
