Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On value alone, McGlothern makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The cost of the Suamataia reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 13th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at the 44th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in No. 112. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in slot 208, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Trevin Wallace at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
