Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Richard Jibunor a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Still pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 18 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reach for Xavier Worthy in the 44th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Benson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in pick 52, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 18, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at pick No. 99, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 117th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at pick 148, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
A reach on Cedric Johnson in Round 6, Pick 33; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They went early on Tayvion Robinson in No. 223, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
No drama and no debate, Tylan Grable went about where he belonged in the 229th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at slot 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
The board had Tarheeb Still higher than pick No. 254, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
