Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Jones Jr. reach set a tone the Raiders could not shake: F.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Marvin Jones Jr. at slot 238 is 100 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It bottoms out at a F.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Scott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 16 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick18 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sonny Styles in pick No. 29. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick31 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 31st overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Good price on Chris Brazzell II in Round 2, Pick 1, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Nice patience on Olaivavega Ioane, who had no business lasting to slot 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
The board had cheaper options than Max Iheanachor at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Zion Young
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Young. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christen Miller at No. 45 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter slid further than he should have, and pick No. 58 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 70th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
By-the-book stuff, Michael Taaffe at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 74th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They will replay Zachariah Branch at the 85th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at pick No. 94. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
A real head-scratcher, Tyreak Sapp in Round 3, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mikail Kamara. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in pick 101, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at slot 104 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They talked themselves into Dametrious Crownover at No. 111, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at Round 4, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
They reached a country mile for Gracen Halton at pick No. 115, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Skyler Gill-Howard in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
A straight-up fair deal on CJ Daniels at the 125th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in the 129th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
A reach for Beau Stephens in Round 4, Pick 33; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
A wild overpay on Keagen Trost in pick 134, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Campbell well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at the 149th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis in No. 162 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
No edge and no loss on Bryce Boettcher in the 163rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in slot 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A premium they did not need to pay, Ephesians Prysock a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at pick 182 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick183 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They liked Pat Coogan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 183rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
They paid sticker price for Josh Cameron in Round 6, Pick 3, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Logan Fano
A big swing on Logan Fano at No. 185, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
They robbed the room for Jalen Stroman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick198 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
They took Jadon Canady at par in the 206th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Harrison Wallace III in pick 210, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 213th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at No. 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at Round 7, Pick 3 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They reached into another round for Cole Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A reach on Diego Pavia in pick No. 224; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at pick 227 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Haynes King
Value said wait; Haynes King in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hall at Round 7, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamari Lyons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
