Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders cleaned up, and the board agrees: A-.

by Silver · 2024 NFL Draft · 12 picks · 2 steals · 4 reaches
Value C+
Need B
Trades A
Future A+

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Harrell at the 227th pick regardless, 133 picks early. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That Barrett pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 47
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe in slot 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 117
A premium they did not need to pay, Spencer Rattler a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 115
They paid sticker price for Andru Phillips in pick No. 113, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 143
Tommy Eichenberg at the 147th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 173
Layden Robinson at pick No. 167 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 223
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 237
A reach for Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 221st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Julian Pearl · OT-EDGE · rank 212
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Julian Pearl in pick 224. The roster logic is harder to follow.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Tyler Harrell · WR · rank 360
Tyler Harrell at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and No. 230 is lovely value for the linebacker. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
