Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Raiders landed square in the muddy middle: C.

The Raiders did not so much draft Rueben Owens II as overpay for him, 96 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

If Isaiah World and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Isaiah World
A wild overpay on Isaiah World in the Round 1 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They took Kayden McDonald at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They talked themselves into Gabe Jacas at pick No. 39, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
They reached into another round for Keith Abney II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Fields in slot 67 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 70th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They reached a country mile for Drew Allar at Round 4, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Iapani Laloulu in pick 111, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Value said wait; Davison Igbinosun in No. 136 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Stewart this early at pick No. 173. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bear Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Nothing to complain about; Trinidad Chambliss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Rueben Owens II
A big swing on Rueben Owens II at slot 215, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at slot 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
