Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The war room fell hard for Diego Pavia, and it showed at the 36th overall pick: 55 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Rivers steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 1 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Diego Pavia
A wild overpay on Diego Pavia in Round 2, Pick 4, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Nice patience on Bishop Fitzgerald, who had no business lasting to the 117th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A reach on Kyle Louis in pick 134; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dane Key
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dane Key. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
They took Miles Kitselman at par in pick No. 183, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at No. 219 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
