Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Harris: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tre Harris had no business being available in pick No. 141, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 13th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They robbed the room for Jack Sawyer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 13, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 109th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick 141 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at pick No. 205 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
