Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureA-
The Raiders let Guyton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Tyler Guyton slides to slot 76, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Rogers left real value on the table behind him. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
No drama and no debate, Terrion Arnold went about where he belonged in the 20th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at No. 55. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to the 76th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Somehow Roman Wilson was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 121, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They robbed the room for Ainias Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They went early on Justin Rogers in Round 5, Pick 13, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They did well to land Josh Proctor in No. 190, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
No edge and no loss on Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
