Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 113 on Joe Milton III a full 86 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 44th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 113th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. A minor itch, scratched.
