Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Troy Bowles, 85 picks early at the 219th pick. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Adding Brock Purdy by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Caleb Downs
They will replay Caleb Downs at Round 2, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
Steal is underselling it; Emmanuel Pregnon at the 67th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
They robbed the room for Caleb Tiernan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Gabe Jacas
You do not let an edge rusher like Gabe Jacas reach slot 117 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Taking Davison Igbinosun in No. 176 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at pick No. 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
Troy Bowles at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
