Draft Grade — Raiders

ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureA
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 5 lands the Raiders a B+, McMillan and all.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tetairoa McMillan, the No. 10 name on the board, in the 37th overall pick.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Caelen Carson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at pick No. 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
The board had Jalen Milroe higher than Round 4, Pick 6, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at No. 143 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Kiser at the 180th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in pick 213. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick215 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at the 215th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Ricky White III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
