Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureC
The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Taylen Green at No. 120 is 46 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Downs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 12: Caleb Downs for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick16
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 16th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 36th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They took Jake Slaughter at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick No. 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick 83 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jack Endries
They jumped the gun on Jack Endries, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the 90th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at the 102nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick No. 103 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kage Casey
They talked themselves into Kage Casey at pick 117, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Taylen Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taylen Green. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Isaac Smith
They reached into another round for Isaac Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
