Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Roush that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
Nothing to complain about; Makai Lemon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith slid further than he should have, and slot 102 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A straight-up fair deal on Keylan Rutledge at the 117th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 134th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Sam Roush for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They took Lander Barton at par in slot 180, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in Round 7, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
