Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
A-

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The Raiders bet big and early on Drew Allar, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The Lew pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
It is not that Perkins Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
In the end it comes back to Sonny Styles, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In the 20th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick29
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In slot 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick36
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
They paid sticker price for Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 36, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
They reached into another round for Nicholas Singleton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick109
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 109 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Fair-plus on Parker Brailsford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in pick No. 175, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in the 185th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the 208th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
Toriano Pride Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Toriano Pride Jr. at Round 6, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
