Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent the Round 6 slot on Jason Marshall Jr., a name most had 22 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That Milroe pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. at pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They took Isaiah Bond at par in slot 68, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at Round 5, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 149 with a little surplus value in Trevor Etienne. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They reached into another round for Jason Marshall Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 213th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 6, Pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 222 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
