Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Sellers should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. LaNorris Sellers tumbling to the Raiders in pick 104 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It is not that Hill Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first. The cost of the Zuhn III reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at No. 16 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick27 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In the 27th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Anthony Hill Jr. while clear needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick104 Rnd4 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers at pick No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Value with a capital V on Jacob Rodriguez in Round 5, Pick 33, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 181 with a little surplus value in Aaron Anderson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nico Iamaleava
You do not let a quarterback like Nico Iamaleava reach pick 185 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 219th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
