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

The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Garrett Nussmeier, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A wild overpay on Garrett Nussmeier in the 36th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Austin Barber
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Barber well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at slot 102 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at No. 117 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They went early on Kyle Louis in the 134th pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in Round 5, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
A tidy little value on Jaydn Ott in pick No. 183, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
They paid a round early for Jalon Daniels in pick 215, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at slot 219 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at the 225th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
