Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

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 dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Rosemy-Jacksaint falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 13th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 13 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 112 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They read the board right and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was the payoff at slot 208. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 229th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
