Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalen Milroe, taking him 56 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Graham at Round 1, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Milroe. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A clean, defensible pick in pick 68 with a little surplus value in Jalen Royals. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen slid further than he should have, and slot 143 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey is a better player than the 213th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
They reached into another round for Jabbar Muhammad, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
