Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Borregales from sliding. Grade: C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Andres Borregales slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Starks proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 6 they get a ballhawk on the back end, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the 68th pick: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
A tidy bit of business in No. 108, where Quinn Ewers graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at pick No. 143 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in pick 180 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at the 215th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Addison West
Nice patience on Addison West, who had no business lasting to the 222nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
