Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Maiava from sliding. Grade: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Raiders skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Maiava steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Reaching for Stewart left real value on the table behind him.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
No edge and no loss on Francis Mauigoa in No. 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They paid sticker price for Anthony Hill Jr. in the 37th pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
You do not let a quarterback like Jayden Maiava reach slot 68 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
By-the-book stuff, Zachariah Branch at pick 114 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A slide stopped in the 135th overall pick, with Parker Brailsford worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermaine Mathews Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
A reach on Evan Stewart in pick No. 182; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Castell at Round 7, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
