Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a B+.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Isaac Guerendo went at Round 7, Pick 5, a good 70 picks before the board was ready.

Landing Corum that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 15th overall pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Corum
They robbed the room for Blake Corum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
You do not let a quarterback like Joe Milton III reach slot 210 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the 221st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at slot 225, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
