Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Raiders left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That Trotter Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 13 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in No. 46, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 77th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in slot 78; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sataoa Laumea. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Simpson in the 153rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
No drama and no debate, Matthew Jones went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
