Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kyle McCord in No. 146, a good 84 spots before the room expected him. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 20 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 39th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Fairchild at the Round 3 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick No. 70 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in No. 85. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at Round 4, Pick 5. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to slot 183, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick187 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 187th overall pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick212 Rnd6 Deion Burks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Deion Burks in the 212th pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at pick No. 216. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 223 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
