Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureB
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match. The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shawn Murphy at the Round 4 slot regardless, 326 picks early.
However the rest shakes out, Barham at that price is a win they earned. Carson Beck is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Carson Beck
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kadyn Proctor
Kadyn Proctor in No. 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Chris Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Chris Johnson at the 67th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
A safety of that caliber at slot 102 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112
Rnd4
Shawn Murphy
A wild overpay on Shawn Murphy in Round 4, Pick 12, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117
Rnd4
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at slot 134 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cyrus Allen
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Cyrus Allen in pick No. 150, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Sam Roush
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 36: Sam Roush for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180
Rnd6
Madden Sanker
They reached a country mile for Madden Sanker at the 180th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cole Payton
Cole Payton in No. 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 219th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
