Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: D.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: James Williams Sr. in Round 7, Pick 33, a good 46 spots before the room expected him. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reese.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They took Kayden McDonald at par in Round 2, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Chaplin
They paid up for Xavier Chaplin at the 63rd pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in No. 67 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and A.J. Harris at pick No. 77 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
They did well to land Sam Leavitt in slot 85, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 95th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A premium they did not need to pay, Zachariah Branch a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 111 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They liked Logan Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 136. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar slid further than he should have, and the 171st pick is lovely value for the quarterback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A conviction pick on Lander Barton at Round 5, Pick 33 that the board grades a round light. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick183 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at No. 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
The board had cheaper options than Rayshaun Benny at pick 187, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at Round 6, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roderick Kearney this early at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
They jumped the gun on Malik Hartford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
They reached into another round for Peyton Bowen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
James Williams Sr. at slot 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
