Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Singer value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at the 14th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick46 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A tidy bit of business in slot 46, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 90th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Nice patience on Kiran Amegadjie, who had no business lasting to No. 114. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They barely believed it either: Cam Hart still on the board at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
The board had Sataoa Laumea higher than pick No. 151, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Circle this one: Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 192 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
Dorian Singer at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
