Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Stone Handy, 114 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Higgins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quinn Ewers well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 68th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 73rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick 107 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Value said wait; Xavier Scott in No. 142 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A wild overpay on Ty Hamilton in Round 6, Pick 3, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Stone Handy
A big swing on Stone Handy at the 204th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in No. 212 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
A real head-scratcher, Max Brosmer in the 222nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
