Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent slot 36 on Carson Beck, a name most had 52 spots down the list.

The Payton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Carson Beck
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Beck in slot 36, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Austin Barber in No. 67 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 102. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A clean, defensible pick in pick 117 with a little surplus value in Will Lee III. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas at the 134th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
A straight-up fair deal on Eric McAlister at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in pick No. 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher slid further than he should have, and the 183rd overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cole Payton at slot 219 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
