Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Estime proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Burke steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Denzel Burke in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They left a pile of value on the table to take Audric Estime this early at the 92nd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in slot 112, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 121, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Smael Mondon Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than the 128th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick 152 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ricky White
A quiet steal in pick 190: Ricky White for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
