Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders robbed the room for Cowing. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jacob Cowing tumbling to the Raiders in No. 171 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Laube has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 44 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 48th pick, where Ennis Rakestraw Jr. graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 77th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 112 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They jumped the gun on Marist Liufau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at No. 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Decamerion Richardson
No edge and no loss on Decamerion Richardson in the 168th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in pick 170. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick No. 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A reach on Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
