Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

Some picks age like wine; Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCaffrey. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at slot 44 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Value said wait; Christian Mahogany in No. 79 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roger Rosengarten in the 112th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 176 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They did well to land Steele Chambers in the 204th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at Round 6, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 211 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A wild overpay on Ryan Watts in pick 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
