Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Paris Shand at the 223rd overall pick, a reach of 68 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

On value alone, Carter makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, with Ashton Jeanty leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty is a better player than the 13th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick70 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
They let Jermari Harris come to them and pounced at slot 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 146 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick183 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby slipping to No. 183 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
A reach on Kaden Prather in the 212th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at the 216th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Paris Shand
They reached a country mile for Paris Shand at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
