Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gunner Stockton at the Round 5 slot regardless, 35 picks early.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Igbinosun. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 16th pick they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Hill Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at Round 3, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Carter Smith
Circle this one: Carter Smith at No. 102 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at pick 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance slipping to slot 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton at the 176th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 6, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 219 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
