Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 149 on Ricky Pearsall a full 51 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Eichenberg pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, quarterback and other spots still on the board. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Fiske steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
A surprising call. With cornerback, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 76th overall pick on Tommy Eichenberg, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in No. 112 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
They reached into another round for Ricky Pearsall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Braden Fiske
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 190th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
A straight-up fair deal on Reuben Fatheree II at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
