Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Kyle McCord at the 106th pick will need to, sitting 114 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Bassa that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 8th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Fairchild a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Sampson in pick 69, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 106th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at pick No. 146. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in Round 6, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 216th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They reached into another round for Elijhah Badger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
