Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Stone. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like David Stone slides to the 47th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not.

The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 13th pick they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 David Stone
David Stone at slot 47 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Reed Harris
A wild overpay on Reed Harris in pick 78, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews in the 114th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Nice patience on Jayden Jackson, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 15. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 King Mack
Nothing to complain about; King Mack went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
