Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA-
The Raiders lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Patrick Payton a full 52 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Put together, it is a D.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. On value alone, Reese makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In No. 15 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A straight-up fair deal on Kayden McDonald at pick 33, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at slot 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Leavitt a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Diego Pavia
No drama and no debate, Diego Pavia went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A reach on Zachariah Branch in pick No. 111; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
They paid up for J.C. Davis at No. 129 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones at pick 136 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd4
DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney is a better player than Round 4, Pick 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They talked themselves into Max Iheanachor at the 146th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braylan Shelby in slot 169, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
They took Aaron Anderson at par in the 173rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 6, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at slot 185. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Zane Durant
A tidy little value on Zane Durant in pick No. 187, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in the 192nd pick 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.
Pick199
Rnd6
Roderick Kearney
They reached into another round for Roderick Kearney, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207
Rnd6
Drayk Bowen
They liked Drayk Bowen enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 207. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210
Rnd6
Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
A real head-scratcher, Peyton Bowen in the 217th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
