Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders won the night they stopped Bernard from sliding. Grade: A-.

The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Germie Bernard, the No. 62 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 102 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Raiders indulged a want in Styles while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open.

Bottom line, with Sonny Styles leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick 20 on Sonny Styles, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in the 36th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
The board fumbled Lee Hunter all the way to slot 67, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
Somehow Germie Bernard was still sitting there in No. 102, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They robbed the room for Zakee Wheatley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 134th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cole Payton at Round 7, Pick 3 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
