Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Maye: B.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Ezirim has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Drake Maye in No. 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry is a better player than the 40th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 13, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
The board fumbled MarShawn Lloyd all the way to pick 112, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the 208th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josiah Ezirim
A real head-scratcher, Josiah Ezirim in pick No. 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
