Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Raiders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Curry at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They are betting Chambliss proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Sarratt. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
A conviction pick on Trinidad Chambliss at Round 4, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Caden Curry
The board had Caden Curry higher than the 117th overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
