Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders robbed the room for Lew. Final grade: A-.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Connor Lew, the No. 62 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Allen pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Arvell Reese and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 18 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They zigged when the board said zag, taking CJ Allen at linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
No drama and no debate, Zachariah Branch went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas at the 130th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They took Isaiah World at par in No. 134, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Value with a capital V on Reggie Virgil in Round 5, Pick 28, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
