Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Nelson: B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jack Nelson fell into Round 6, Pick 37. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Reaching for Milroe left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at pick No. 37 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick 68 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 108th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They did well to land Mello Dotson in slot 143, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 196 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 6, Pick 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jay Higgins in the 215th overall pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at the 222nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Elzinga
Good price on Luke Elzinga in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick244 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
The board had Desmond Watson higher than pick 244, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
