Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 40: the Raiders steal Penix Jr. and grade out a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Michael Penix Jr. had no business being available in the 40th pick, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cost of the Guerendo reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

With tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
Somehow Michael Penix Jr. was still sitting there in the 40th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Value with a capital V on Kamari Lassiter in No. 49, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at pick No. 54 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adisa Isaac in Round 2, Pick 25. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Good price on Devontez Walker in the 77th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 83 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A reach for Cole Bishop in slot 88; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Renardo Green
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 89th pick on Renardo Green with tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in Round 3, Pick 36 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
