Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Green. Harbor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Perkins Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 9th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in pick No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Darrell Jackson Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
A big swing on Nyck Harbor at slot 67, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Harold Perkins Jr. while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A straight-up fair deal on J.C. Davis at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A quiet steal in pick No. 173: Drew Allar for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
They paid sticker price for Monroe Mills in No. 183, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at the 187th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taking Taylen Green in Round 6, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in pick 217 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
