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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Walker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They will need Tuten to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, with Tetairoa McMillan leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 14 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in pick No. 37. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 17 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 143 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No drama and no debate, Damien Martinez went about where he belonged in the 151st pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 180, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board had Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson higher than No. 213, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They let Jason Marshall Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at pick 222 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
