Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Raiders steal King and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kobe King tumbling to the Raiders in the 216th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The cost of the Rourke reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 6th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 37 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at No. 68 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach Round 3, Pick 9 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 142nd pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at slot 178. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kobe King
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kobe King in pick 216, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick222 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 222nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
