Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and McCord: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle McCord got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at the 180th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Simpkins III lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than the 37th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in pick 108. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
By-the-book stuff, Hayden Conner at the 215th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach slot 222 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in the 230th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
