Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in the 102nd overall pick lands the Raiders a A-, Golday and all.

Call it larceny. Jake Golday sat on the board until pick 102, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Hill Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
They paid a round early for Monroe Freeling in pick No. 38, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 67th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at No. 102 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
A reach for Jakobe Thomas in the 117th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at slot 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Nothing to complain about; DJ Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A straight-up fair deal on Bud Clark at Round 6, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lander Barton at the 183rd pick is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
A reach on Dijon Johnson in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
