Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Ford value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If Lindberg pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 13 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 19 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 77 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in the 117th overall pick with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid a round early for Layden Robinson in the 153rd pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 15 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
They went early on Chad Lindberg in the 234th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
