Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Gordon II should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Ollie Gordon II slides to slot 222, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 6th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 68. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at Round 5, Pick 5. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Nothing to complain about; Cobee Bryant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Ricky White III for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in the 215th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 222nd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
