Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Quinn Ewers is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wells Jr.. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In the 13th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A slide stopped in No. 77, with Ajani Cornelius worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Jacobee Bryant still on the board at Round 4, Pick 13. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonathan Mendoza in pick No. 173. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A reach for Seth McLaughlin in pick 205; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
