Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Raiders have some explaining to do: D+.

The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Rodrick Pleasant, 467 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Zvada is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first.

Hecht falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rodrick Pleasant
In pick 2 they get a lockdown presence outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at the 36th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They talked themselves into Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Value with a capital V on Sam Hecht in Round 4, Pick 2, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dominic Zvada
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and running back to take Dominic Zvada, a specialist that was not the priority.
Pick134 Rnd4 Barion Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barion Brown in pick No. 134, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Preston Stone
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Preston Stone. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Blake Shapen
Blake Shapen at the 180th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at pick 183 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Markis Deal
They reached into another round for Markis Deal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
