Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a A-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Reaching for Culp left real value on the table behind him. On value alone, Magee makes the weekend a net positive.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Michael Penix Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get the face of the franchise, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A quiet steal in pick No. 77: Kiran Amegadjie for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A tidy bit of business in the 87th pick, where Javon Baker graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 148 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the 208th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 223 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Devin Culp at the 229th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Justin Rogers
A clean, defensible pick in slot 232 with a little surplus value in Justin Rogers. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
