Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jordan Travis at the 112th pick will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Torrence that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 13 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A reach for Braden Fiske in the 44th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They paid a round early for Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 112th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at No. 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They did well to land Garret Greenfield in pick 223, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at slot 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
