Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureD-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Daniels: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McClellan steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in No. 44, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the 80th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 112 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 150th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs is a better player than slot 190 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 21, where Josh Proctor graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jase McClellan at No. 234. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No edge and no loss on Tatum Bethune in Round 7, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
