Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mario Williams at the 221st overall pick, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Winston Jr.. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 6 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
They reached into another round for Dillon Gabriel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
By-the-book stuff, Quinshon Judkins at No. 73 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the 104th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at pick No. 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Will Lee III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Lee III. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 216th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Mario Williams
They reached a country mile for Mario Williams at Round 7, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
