Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Raiders: C+.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Antario Brown went at No. 199, a good 123 picks before the board was ready.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In slot 7 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 2, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 71 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
No edge and no loss on Bear Alexander in pick No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
Value said wait; Jayden Higgins in the 135th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd6 Davin Vann
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davin Vann this early at the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd7 Antario Brown
They reached into another round for Antario Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
