Draft Grade — Raiders

More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Ar'maj Reed-Adams, taking him 30 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 67th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ar'maj Reed-Adams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malik Benson
They reached a country mile for Malik Benson at pick No. 117, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in the 174th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
No drama and no debate, Nate Boerkircher went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at Round 6, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They went early on Cole Payton in slot 219, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
