Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureB
The Raiders let Taylor fall and pounced. Final grade: D. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mason Taylor, slot 212, roughly 113 picks past where he belonged.
They are betting Beck proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
A reach on Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 37; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Carson Beck
A big swing on Carson Beck at the 73rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Kurtis Rourke
They reached into another round for Kurtis Rourke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James in Round 4, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 138th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick 142 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick163
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
Value said wait; DJ Campbell in the 179th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212
Rnd6
Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in pick 212, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in pick No. 216 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222
Rnd7
Clay Webb
A straight-up fair deal on Clay Webb at No. 222, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
