Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Caleb Tiernan at the Round 2 slot is 24 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Jennings pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A big swing on Caleb Tiernan at pick No. 36, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cade Klubnik this early at the 67th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A slide stopped in slot 102, with Jacob Rodriguez worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in No. 117 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Trigg at the 134th pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa is a better player than pick 174 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dane Key
They paid sticker price for Dane Key in slot 183, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kevin Jennings in the 219th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
