Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but DeMonte Capehart at slot 234 is 66 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They banked enough surplus on Muhammad to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 18 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A real head-scratcher, T'Vondre Sweat in the 44th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They talked themselves into Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in pick 77, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ray Davis. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 115th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 190th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
You do not let a cornerback like Jabbar Muhammad reach slot 236 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
