Start where it matters. The Raiders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Barrett pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That Guyton pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In No. 13 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the 44th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
They will replay Tyler Guyton at slot 77 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
They took Beau Brade at par in the 112th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 184
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at pick No. 150. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Wright still on the board at Round 6, Pick 15. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
Chad Lindberg at pick 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
