Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders let Daniels fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The Raiders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Raiders indulged a want in Lawson while a need in edge rusher, tight end and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Chambliss lower, and that gap is the story. Daniels falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jordyn Tyson and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In No. 16 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They paid sticker price for CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at Round 2, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Nothing to complain about; Olaivavega Ioane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Deontae Lawson at linebacker with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open.
Pick102 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
A big swing on Trinidad Chambliss at slot 102, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A premium they did not need to pay, Jude Bowry a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Nice patience on Blake Miller, who had no business lasting to the 135th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 176 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick181 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in Round 6, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at pick No. 184 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They will replay Jalon Daniels at pick 219 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
