Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a D+ weekend for the Raiders.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Wright at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The McCormick pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 27 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 32 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in slot 44, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at the 77th pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in the 81st overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 27: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 95 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to pick No. 111. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jaylen Wright in Round 4, Pick 27, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in No. 131, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A clean, defensible pick in the 169th pick with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jalyx Hunt
The board had Jalyx Hunt higher than the 185th overall pick, and the S-EDGE fell to them anyway. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Erick All. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick 223 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at Round 7, Pick 9 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A tidy little value on Jowon Briggs in pick No. 248, a step better than break-even. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick252 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
