Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Nix: B.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 25th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 13 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at No. 78 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A real head-scratcher, Maason Smith in slot 90 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at the 91st overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in slot 98 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Value said wait; Johnny Wilson in pick 100 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
