Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Brandon Inniss. He came off 39 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Getting Stockton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In No. 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 33rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Domonique Orange. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They paid up for Tacario Davis at pick No. 111 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at slot 136 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 173rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
A tidy bit of business in pick 183, where Gunner Stockton graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalon Daniels this early at Round 6, Pick 7. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
They reached into another round for Brandon Inniss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
