Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Daevin Hobbs in the Round 7 slot, a good 30 spots before the room expected him. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Singleton.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A conviction pick on Olaivavega Ioane at slot 36 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
A reasonable price with a little left over, LaNorris Sellers in the 67th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They went early on Domani Jackson in Round 4, Pick 5, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
The board had Nicholas Singleton higher than pick No. 112, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
Nothing to complain about; DJ McKinney went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 173rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No edge and no loss on Xavier Nwankpa in the 183rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at slot 185 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
