Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Casey from sliding. Grade: B.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kage Casey, the No. 162 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

Every board in the league had Mateer lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 John Mateer
John Mateer in No. 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A big swing on Harold Perkins Jr. at slot 67, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
They let Drew Shelton come to them and pounced at pick No. 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Terry Moore
Terry Moore at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Deion Burks
You do not let a wide receiver like Deion Burks reach pick 134 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown is a better player than Round 5, Pick 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Connor Tollison
A clean, defensible pick in the 182nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Connor Tollison. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Albert Regis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Albert Regis in the 185th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
