Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Colby fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Connor Colby fell into pick No. 215.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tetairoa McMillan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at the 37th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the 68th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at slot 108 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Good price on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 143, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A clean, defensible pick in No. 180 with a little surplus value in Ollie Gordon II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at pick 213 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They did well to land R.J. Mickens in Round 7, Pick 6, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
