Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureD-
Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

That Legette pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 7th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to No. 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in pick No. 112, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
The board had cheaper options than LaDarius Henderson at the 150th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A conviction pick on Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 15 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They paid a round early for Maurice Smith in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
