Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

Nobody else had James Smith anywhere near slot 174. The Raiders did, by 57 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Everette value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In slot 6 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Garrett Nussmeier at the 37th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Arch Manning
The board fumbled Arch Manning all the way to pick 68, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They will replay Daylen Everette at the 103rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jayden Maiava
Circle this one: Jayden Maiava at pick No. 133 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Smith
James Smith at No. 174 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
Taking Darius Taylor in pick 191 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 7 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
