Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Moses: B.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Raiders to leave a draft.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If Roberts pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slipping to Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
They paid a round early for Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 69, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A clean, defensible pick in slot 104 with a little surplus value in Jude Bowry. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses at the 174th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cameron Calhoun
No edge and no loss on Cameron Calhoun in pick 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They liked Fernando Carmona enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 226. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
