Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B- to prove it.

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalen White at No. 199 regardless, 90 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In No. 7 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at slot 71 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaydn Ott
Value said wait; Jaydn Ott in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd5 Will Howard
A real head-scratcher, Will Howard in Round 5, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaeden Roberts. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd7 Jalen White
They reached a country mile for Jalen White at the 199th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
