Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Arnold: C-.

The Raiders did not so much draft Bradyn Joiner as overpay for him, 357 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Jackson Arnold is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jackson Arnold
In slot 5 they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Christian Gray
A big swing on Christian Gray at Round 2, Pick 4, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in No. 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Value with a capital V on Drew Shelton in the 105th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 112 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They robbed the room for Deion Burks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Bradyn Joiner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bradyn Joiner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 6, Pick 3 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 185th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Preston Stone
Preston Stone at slot 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Fernando Mendoza
They will replay Fernando Mendoza at the 239th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
Steal is underselling it; Eli Stowers at pick No. 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
