Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 222 on Kevin Jennings a full 56 spots early.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Grant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than No. 45, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 68, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They let Tez Johnson come to them and pounced at the 108th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at the 180th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Edwards in the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Shemar James
Shemar James at the 215th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Jennings in pick 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
