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

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Bell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Penix Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 9. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in pick 44, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 77th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 112th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Jaheim Bell for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones is a better player than slot 190 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at Round 7, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
