Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 108: the Raiders steal Ersery and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Aireontae Ersery, pick No. 108, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 45th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at pick 68. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to the 80th pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aireontae Ersery reach Round 4, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Somehow Darien Porter was still sitting there in No. 117, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Brashard Smith for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Circle this one: Jacob Parrish at slot 180 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 213th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 222 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
