Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on White: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky White, No. 232, roughly 54 picks past where he belonged.

The Rattler pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Jefferson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They paid sticker price for Troy Fautanu in the 43rd pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Spencer Rattler in No. 75, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
The board had MarShawn Lloyd higher than the 111th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick 148 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 189 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ricky White
Ricky White at slot 232 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
