Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureD
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They will replay Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 77 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick No. 150 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 193 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A tidy bit of business in the 234th pick, where Blake Watson graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They liked Maurice Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 235. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
