Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Kelby Collins a full 49 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Pavia at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
Francis Mauigoa at the 5th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jayden Maiava
A reach on Jayden Maiava in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Taurean York
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 3: Taurean York for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A slide stopped in pick 105, with Chandler Rivers worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia is a better player than No. 112 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
By-the-book stuff, Demond Claiborne at pick No. 134 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaac Smith in pick No. 173. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick183 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at slot 183 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Monroe Mills. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kelby Collins
They reached a country mile for Kelby Collins at the 220th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
