Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Singleton from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nicholas Singleton got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at the 212th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Dart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 8 they get a three-down runner at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tez Johnson in the 69th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
They reached a country mile for Jaxson Dart at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Evan Stewart in pick No. 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to the 146th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricardo Hallman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in Round 6, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 216th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in pick 223, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
