Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The Raiders did not so much draft Eyabi Okie-Anoma as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Edwards at that price is a win they earned. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 13 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in No. 77, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They paid a round early for Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 113 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 145th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Barrett at slot 210, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick221 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Cephus. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eyabi Okie-Anoma this early at the 225th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in No. 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
