Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Raiders would have aced it. Collin Oliver at No. 215 is 75 spots clear of where he belonged.

On value alone, Burden III makes the weekend a net positive. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the 37th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Milroe in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Desmond Watson a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at slot 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
