Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Daniels is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Mustapha value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 10 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the 44th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 112th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
The board had Malik Mustapha higher than No. 150, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Nice patience on Ethan Driskell, who had no business lasting to pick 190. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
