Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB+
The Raiders bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Thrash value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at pick No. 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II is a better player than pick 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Ray Davis slipping to the 148th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at slot 189 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at Round 6, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
They paid sticker price for Reuben Fatheree II in No. 232, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
