Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
D

FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Maiava: D. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
The Weeks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Traore lower, and that gap is the story.
The Maiava value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than the 43rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at No. 70 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 3, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ian Strong
By-the-book stuff, Ian Strong at pick No. 78 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 95th overall pick on Whit Weeks with tight end unsolved.
Pick106
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A premium they did not need to pay, Zachariah Branch a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore at No. 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
DJ McKinney
The board had DJ McKinney higher than the 135th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in Round 5, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Bryce Boettcher
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Boettcher at slot 181, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick184
Rnd6
Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at pick 184 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jahiem White
No edge and no loss on Jahiem White in pick 220; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
