Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Tristan Leigh at pick No. 220. The Raiders jumped the board by 28 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
By-the-book stuff, Francis Mauigoa at No. 5 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Somehow Arvell Reese was still sitting there in pick No. 36, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
They paid sticker price for A.J. Harris in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board had cheaper options than Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 105th pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid a round early for Logan Jones in Round 4, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Nice patience on Drew Allar, who had no business lasting to No. 173. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
A real head-scratcher, Lee Hunter in slot 183 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 185th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in pick No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
