Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: C-.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 71 picks early on Garrett Dellinger, and the board is going to hold them to it. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If Ashton Jeanty and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A tidy little value on Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 6, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick 17 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They took Xavier Watts at par in Round 2, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in the 68th overall pick: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 143rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 157 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in slot 180, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at the 215th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
