Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Dart: C+.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Jaxson Dart is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The cost of the Dart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hit on Jaxson Dart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In pick 6 they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 37th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 4: Azareye'h Thomas for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They read the board right and Tai Felton was the payoff at slot 108. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
A slide stopped in pick No. 143, with Dillon Gabriel worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Fair-plus on Jake Briningstool, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 213th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano in No. 215 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A tidy little value on R.J. Mickens in pick No. 222, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
