Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Marshall Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 148 name on the board, in slot 190.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 12th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They took Caelen Carson at par in No. 76, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to the 112th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 6, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
