Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Raiders to a D-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for James Williams Sr., 73 picks ahead of schedule. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at No. 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Arch Manning
By-the-book stuff, Arch Manning at the 45th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A premium they did not need to pay, Keith Abney II a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 106 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 114th pick with a little surplus value in Earl Little Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
They paid a round early for Sammy Omosigho in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar is a better player than the 173rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick 182 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick220 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
A big swing on James Williams Sr. at Round 7, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
