Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
Sellers is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. LaNorris Sellers is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

On value alone, Sarratt makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Rodriguez to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, tight end and other spots went begging.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 52nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 59 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at Round 3, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Circle this one: Elijah Sarratt at the 90th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Antonio Williams
Taking Antonio Williams in No. 106 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
The board had Domani Jackson higher than pick 121, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots to take Jaishawn Barham, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 136 leaves edge rusher, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick160 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Somehow Blake Miller was still sitting there in No. 160, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
They barely believed it either: Eric Rivers still on the board at the 173rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A quiet steal in pick 187: Xavier Nwankpa for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick191 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Darius Taylor in slot 191, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
