Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Raiders reached some 93 spots for Da'Shawn Womack, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Allar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. With running back and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In No. 7 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd overall pick, where Christen Miller graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Colton Hood
They took Colton Hood at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Harold Perkins Jr. at linebacker with running back and tight end open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in the 111th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 136 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
No drama and no debate, Duce Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 173. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Drew Allar
They robbed the room for Drew Allar here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No edge and no loss on Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A real head-scratcher, Da'Shawn Womack in the 217th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
