Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

The Taulia Tagovailoa selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 140 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Hopper pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Michael Carter II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick 72 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 11. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 112th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 148th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They barely believed it either: Ryan Flournoy still on the board at pick No. 229. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
