Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Daniels. The board says D-.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Chad Lindberg, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 7th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in slot 112. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They paid up for Beaux Limmer at the 134th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They went early on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at Round 5, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
They reached a country mile for Sheridan Jones at Round 6, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg at the 208th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 217 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 234th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
