Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, pick No. 208, roughly 66 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They will need Rosengarten to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They have staked the next five years on Michael Penix Jr., which is the only story that really matters here. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 13 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 51 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
They reached a country mile for Roger Rosengarten at slot 77, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at Round 3, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 112th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick No. 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 148th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at No. 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 223 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at the 229th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
