Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Shough: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Shough got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at pick 169. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

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. Michael Pittman Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 5. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick No. 45 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 68. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 108th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 169th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 215; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
