Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureD
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ali.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 77th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in pick 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Jones at Round 7, Pick 1 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at No. 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
