Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Raiders walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Becker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker at No. 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Jackson
They did well to land Jayden Jackson in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacarrius Peak
No edge and no loss on Jacarrius Peak in Round 4, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They paid sticker price for DJ McKinney in the 134th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita in pick 174 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in pick No. 180 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun at slot 183 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TJ Metcalf. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
