Blessuan Austin

Oakland Raiders added 2019 5th round pick (140th overall subsequently traded, Ryquell Armstead) while sending Kelechi Osemele and 2019 6th round pick (196th overall, Blessuan Austin) to New York Jets. the final grade reflects that the deal lands as a true even result rather than a default neutral grade. Draft-capital value drives most of the Raiders-side read

Chicago's trade for Khalil Mack gave the Bears an instant superstar and briefly turned their defense into one of the league's defining units. The Raiders received a major draft package, but the return never matched the value of an elite pass rusher in his prime. Chicago paid heavily, yet still acquired the best player. The deal remains a strong Bears win because Mack delivered superstar impact immediately, even if Chicago did not turn the window into a championship.
