Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Klubnik headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Cade Klubnik, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

However the rest shakes out, Stewart at that price is a win they earned. The cost of the Roberts reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In the 13th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
A cornerback of that caliber at the 39th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid sticker price for D'Angelo Ponds in slot 90, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chase Roberts
Value said wait; Chase Roberts in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kage Casey
A straight-up fair deal on Kage Casey at Round 4, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at No. 146 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jordan Castell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Castell in pick 185. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
They barely believed it either: Aidan Chiles still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
