Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

The Raiders bet big and early on McKinnley Jackson, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Allen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 McKinnley Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take McKinnley Jackson this early at the 44th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
You do not let a wide receiver like Troy Franklin reach Round 2, Pick 19 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
The board had cheaper options than Spencer Rattler at No. 77, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to pick No. 113. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in the 147th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 190 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Good price on Myles Jones in No. 221, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremy Flax. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
