Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Rylie Mills in the 235th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 14 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in pick 46. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at Round 3, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 114 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
Fair-plus on MarShawn Lloyd, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the 192nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
A big swing on Rylie Mills at Round 7, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
