Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 38 picks early on Sam Hartman, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They did well to land Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 14th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A reach for Byron Murphy II in pick No. 51; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They liked Bucky Irving enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 97. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zach Frazier. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 192 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 235th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
