Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Beck: D-.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Jonah Coleman, taking him 34 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They have staked the next five years on Carson Beck, which is the only story that really matters here. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The White III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In slot 7 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick16 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In No. 17 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 39th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jasheen Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jasheen Davis in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
They reached into another round for Jonah Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd6 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 167th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at pick No. 199. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
