Las Vegas sent New England picks No. 91 and No. 159 for Nos. 100, 139 and 172. The Patriots drafted Devin Asiasi and Justin Rohrwasser, while the Raiders selected Tanner Muse and Amik Robertson before moving the 172nd pick. Muse did not last, but Robertson developed into a multi-year defensive contributor and starter. New England received little lasting value from either of its selections.

Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
New England sent selections 100, 139 and 172 to Las Vegas for picks 91 and 159. The Patriots used the return on Devin Asiasi and Justin Rohrwasser. The Raiders took Tanner Muse at 100 and Amik Robertson at 139, while the 172nd pick was moved again. This was a classic quantity-for-position trade in the middle rounds.
Why the Value Separated
Neither club hit across the board, but Robertson created the separation. Muse was waived before becoming a meaningful Raiders defender. Robertson required development time, then emerged as a useful corner, starting games in both 2022 and 2023 and recording four interceptions across those two seasons. That is substantial middle-round value from a player taken with one of the acquired picks.
How the Deal Aged
New England's two selections did not generate a comparable return. Asiasi caught only a small number of passes for the Patriots and never established himself as the answer at tight end. Rohrwasser did not appear in a regular-season game for New England. The move up therefore produced very little usable NFL value despite costing three selections.
Final Verdict
Las Vegas wins with a B- because Robertson became a real defensive contributor even though the rest of the return was thin. New England receives a D: the Patriots paid to consolidate picks but did not turn either selection into a durable player. The trade is not a major Raiders triumph, but one solid multi-year starter is enough to separate two otherwise disappointing packages. The grade also accounts for acquisition cost, length of useful service, positional importance, and whether later draft movement created tangible roster value rather than merely theoretical capital.
