Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD-
Williams is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: F.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Clark Barrington went at pick 234, a good 141 picks before the board was ready. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in slot 77, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They reached into another round for Cedric Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dwight McGlothern. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden at Round 6, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Clark Barrington
A wild overpay on Clark Barrington in pick 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
