Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Robbie Ouzts, 91 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Jalen Milroe is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Burden III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a featured back at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the 37th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in pick No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zy Alexander in No. 108. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They paid up for Kalel Mullings at No. 143 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at the 213th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
They reached into another round for Robbie Ouzts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 222nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
