Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB+
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: A-.

Nobody had Desmond Evans this high, and it is not close. The Raiders reached 46 spots to get him at the 227th overall pick. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Thomas Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 26 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in the 58th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in slot 79, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at Round 3, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slid further than he should have, and No. 117 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in No. 127, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ray Davis at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in slot 146 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick150 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Circle this one: Javon Foster at the 150th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at pick No. 188 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick190 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Knox in the 190th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans at Round 7, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at the 234th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
You do not let a linebacker like Jordan Magee reach No. 235 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
