Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Penix Jr.: F.

Somebody took the Raiders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in Round 2, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II slid further than he should have, and pick 75 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Nothing to complain about; Devontez Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 144th pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 148 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
