Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Klubnik. Final grade: B.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cade Klubnik, the No. 70 name on the board, in the 114th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 6th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in the 37th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in pick No. 68 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at Round 4, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
They barely believed it either: Cade Klubnik still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
They paid sticker price for Austin Romaine in slot 135, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
No drama and no debate, Darius Taylor went about where he belonged in pick 173. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in No. 182 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 James Smith
James Smith at No. 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
