Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named running back, a need the Raiders walked right past. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Miller reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Scott.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick 1 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at slot 36 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A reach for Blake Miller in Round 4, Pick 2; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They read the board right and Xavier Scott was the payoff at the 117th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Good price on Eric Rivers in the 134th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
No edge and no loss on Oscar Delp in No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in pick No. 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They paid up for Dominic Zvada at pick No. 219 when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
