Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Beck headlines a B weekend for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Carson Beck to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Nwankpa pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Fatheree II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In pick No. 7 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
A slide stopped in pick 39, with Tacario Davis worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in the 71st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 103 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd5 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Sanders at Round 6, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
No drama and no debate, Jalen Travis went about where he belonged in the 199th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
