Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B for the Raiders.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, in slot 208. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Reaching for Suamataia left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. in slot 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A premium they did not need to pay, Kingsley Suamataia a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Good price on Jaylen Wright in slot 77, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 DJ James
Steal is underselling it; DJ James at No. 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They did well to land Trevor Keegan in the 148th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Somehow Anthony Gould was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Taking Fabien Lovett in pick No. 229 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
