Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureD
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McClellan. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 9 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 77th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at pick 112, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They did well to land Javion Cohen in the 150th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at slot 190 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 234 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
