Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B+

NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: B+. The Raiders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Belton proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The Jeanty value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 15 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 67th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
Value said wait; Anthony Belton in Round 3, Pick 30 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 108th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at slot 143 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 180th pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers slid further than he should have, and No. 213 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
A reach for Bilhal Kone in the 222nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
