Draft Grade — Raiders

ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureD
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Michael Penix Jr. is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Hall Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 9 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 77 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 112th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick190 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 190th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
No drama and no debate, Matthew Jones went about where he belonged in No. 234. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
