Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Raiders left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The Eichenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The James pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 D.J. James
The board had D.J. James higher than No. 77, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 112, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at the 190th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at the 234th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
