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

The Kendall Milton pick is the one that will follow the Raiders into the fall. They took him 203 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They read the board right and Nate Wiggins was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 79, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 114th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in the 192nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at pick No. 235 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
