Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Williams should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Raiders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese is a better player than No. 30 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick37 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Christen Miller graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Arch Manning
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Arch Manning at Round 2, Pick 27 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
They barely believed it either: Jayden Maiava still on the board at the 68th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in slot 91 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Circle this one: Keith Abney II at pick No. 103 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 106th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Monroe Freeling. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in Round 4, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They read the board right and Bryce Lance was the payoff at pick No. 135. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Fair-plus on Isaac Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Good price on Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 173rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A slide stopped in No. 182, with Aaron Anderson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 220 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
