Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders robbed the room for Taylor. Final grade: A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Roc Taylor, the No. 189 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Jordan Addison gives the group a proven body among the projects.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They did well to land Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Nice patience on Shavon Revel Jr., who had no business lasting to the 37th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to pick 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in No. 107, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach slot 144 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Fair-plus on Jaylen Reed, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
No edge and no loss on Carson Vinson in the 218th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in pick 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
