Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders bled value on every deal, hence the C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Logan Taylor at pick No. 219, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Lane to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No edge and no loss on Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
They paid up for Max Iheanachor at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 59 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Value with a capital V on Eli Stowers in No. 63, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in Round 3, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush is a better player than the 102nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Taking Ja'Kobi Lane in No. 116 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in pick 134 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in Round 5, Pick 1, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They read the board right and Drew Allar was the payoff at slot 167. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A reach on Taylen Green in the 175th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 185 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A big swing on Isaiah Jatta at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at the 219th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nolan Rucci. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at the 257th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
