Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Raiders steal Styles and grade out a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Sonny Styles slide 86 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Gabriel has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A quiet steal in pick 34: Luther Burden III for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 38th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in No. 65 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at slot 103 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at pick No. 138 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 177th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at pick No. 212 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
They went early on Quincy Riley in slot 216, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Addison West
Addison West at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
