Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

The David Bailey selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 76 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Borregales. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Jeff Okudah deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and pick No. 37 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They talked themselves into Kyle McCord at Round 3, Pick 9, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the 106th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at Round 5, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Reed well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
A specialist of that caliber at No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Deion Burks
A big swing on Deion Burks at the 222nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
