Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Daniels. The board says B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Barton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 13th pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They barely believed it either: Taliese Fuaga still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Taking Graham Barton in pick No. 77 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at slot 112 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Somehow Kris Abrams-Draine was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
You do not let a running back like Braelon Allen reach the 190th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick 234 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
