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

The Raiders bet big and early on Kendall Milton, 239 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The Charlie Thomas III pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A real head-scratcher, Christian Haynes in slot 78 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bucky Irving. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zach Frazier this early at the 114th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Hart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Hart in the 151st overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in Round 6, Pick 17, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at pick 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at the 207th pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in slot 235 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
