Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Phillips fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Jordan Phillips sat on the board until the 144th pick, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Muhammad left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in No. 37, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinn Ewers at pick 107 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at the 144th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 182 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III slid further than he should have, and the 214th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
A premium they did not need to pay, Jabbar Muhammad a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They went early on Teddye Buchanan in No. 224, and the value did not follow. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
