Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureD
Quarterback settled, Manning in the fold, and a D for the Raiders. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent pick 173 on Malachi Singleton, a name the board had a full 329 spots lower.
The whole projection now runs through Arch Manning; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Wheatley to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Arch Manning
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Makhi Hughes
Value said wait; Makhi Hughes in the 38th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ethan Onianwa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Onianwa. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 135th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173
Rnd5
Malachi Singleton
Malachi Singleton at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221
Rnd7
Drayk Bowen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Drayk Bowen at slot 221. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
