Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Mills: B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Monroe Mills fell into the 217th pick.

Every board in the league had Shelton lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at Round 2, Pick 1 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
They reached a country mile for Drew Shelton at No. 65, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
Fair-plus on Whit Weeks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen is a better player than pick No. 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They did well to land DJ McKinney in slot 136, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
They let Jaden Greathouse come to them and pounced at pick 175. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
A tidy little value on Gunner Stockton in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac Smith at the 183rd pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Monroe Mills
Steal is underselling it; Monroe Mills at slot 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
