Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for McGlothern: B.

When a board-topper like Dwight McGlothern slides to No. 208, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 13 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Nothing to complain about; Cade Stover went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 112th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 148th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 208 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in pick 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Somehow Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
