Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B-.

The Raiders torched the value chart for DeMonte Capehart, taking him 67 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Landing Proctor that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in pick No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
A reach on Aki Ogunbiyi in slot 190; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They robbed the room for Josh Proctor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
