Draft Grade — Raiders

The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: D. The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 82nd overall pick on Monroe Freeling a full 40 spots early. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Leavitt value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In slot 29 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kayden McDonald in pick No. 35. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61
Rnd2
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at pick 61 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 76th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
A big swing on Monroe Freeling at No. 82, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at No. 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A premium they did not need to pay, Zachariah Branch a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
They paid a round early for Chase Bisontis in pick No. 111, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at slot 134 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They read the board right and Drew Allar was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173
Rnd5
Lander Barton
A real head-scratcher, Lander Barton in the 173rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick178
Rnd5
Duce Robinson
They paid sticker price for Duce Robinson in pick 178, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at the 181st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick185
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
They went early on Evan Stewart in slot 185, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Nothing to complain about; Taylen Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at the 208th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
They paid up for Malik Hartford at pick 219 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
The board had cheaper options than Peyton Bowen at No. 234, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
