Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Raiders took Sam Hartman at the 227th pick, roughly 56 spots before his name belonged.

The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 15th pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 113 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 155 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in pick 210, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at slot 216 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in No. 221 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
They did well to land Myles Murphy in the 225th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
