Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Maiava is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jayden Maiava, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Maiava proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Iamaleava falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, with Jayden Maiava leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jayden Maiava
In pick 17 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah World
They took Isaiah World at par in slot 36, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Lee III
They paid up for Will Lee III at the 67th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
They read the board right and Caleb Tiernan was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Adon Shuler in pick No. 112. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slid further than he should have, and No. 134 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
No drama and no debate, Aaron Anderson went about where he belonged in the 173rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
The board had Nico Iamaleava higher than pick 179, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
A tidy little value on Terion Stewart in the 183rd pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 185th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun at No. 217 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaren Kanak in Round 7, Pick 5. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
