Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Jackson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Domani Jackson fell into slot 135. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A quiet steal in No. 37: Christen Miller for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Rod Moore
A tidy little value on Rod Moore in the 74th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 6: Earl Little Jr. adds a safety while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Fair-plus on Harold Perkins Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick114 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 135th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
