Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
The Raiders let Howard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Howard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at No. 143. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

If Milroe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A reach on Azareye'h Thomas in the 45th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in No. 68, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy bit of business in slot 80, where Carson Schwesinger graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan James
They went early on Jordan James in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A quiet steal in pick No. 117: Xavier Restrepo for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Will Howard
Steal is underselling it; Will Howard at the 143rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Reed, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tahj Brooks at pick No. 213. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers slipping to slot 215 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the 222nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
