Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The Raiders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Raiders would have aced it. Patrick Payton at the 183rd overall pick is 53 spots clear of where he belonged.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 15th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Arvell Reese at Round 1, Pick 28. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
No edge and no loss on Kayden McDonald in No. 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A premium they did not need to pay, Germie Bernard a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at slot 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
They went early on Austin Siereveld in the 77th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Good price on Sam Leavitt in Round 3, Pick 21, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 86th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They reached into another round for Chase Bisontis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They paid up for Charles Jagusah at pick No. 111 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 LaNorris Sellers
Circle this one: LaNorris Sellers at the 112th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at No. 154 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A quiet steal in pick 173: Drew Allar for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in slot 183 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They paid a round early for Isaiah Jatta in pick 187, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A reach on Malik Hartford in No. 217; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick227 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at the 227th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
