Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a C+ for the Raiders.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jaxson Dart, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Dart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 6 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the 37th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas slid further than he should have, and slot 68 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 108th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in pick No. 143, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick 180 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in Round 6, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at slot 222 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
