Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Miyan Williams fell into pick No. 234.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 13th overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A reach for Braden Fiske in No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at pick No. 190, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Miyan Williams in Round 7, Pick 14, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
