Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody had Jayson Jones this high, and it is not close. The Raiders reached 64 spots to get him at the 231st pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in pick 48. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in the 55th overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 86 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 113th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in the 135th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in slot 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in No. 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They reached a country mile for Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
They talked themselves into Jayson Jones at pick No. 231, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
