Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Fisher: B.

The Raiders' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Fisher steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Eichenberg lower, and that gap is the story.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 13th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick No. 46 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in No. 77. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 112 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Circle this one: Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at slot 150 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in the 234th pick, just ahead of his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 235 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jennings at No. 255 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tatum Bethune at pick 256. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
