Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent the 196th overall pick on Marquise Lightfoot, a name most had 44 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They banked enough surplus on McClain to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Echoles
Will Echoles at No. 14 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A premium they did not need to pay, Ryan Wingo a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deuce Alexander
Somehow Deuce Alexander was still sitting there in pick No. 83, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
A safety of that caliber at slot 117 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
They will replay Evan Tengesdahl at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 OJ Frederique Jr.
Value with a capital V on OJ Frederique Jr. in the 153rd pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Marquise Lightfoot
They reached into another round for Marquise Lightfoot, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
