Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueF NeedA- TradesF FutureA
A weekend the Raiders spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

Nobody had Elijhah Badger this high, and it is not close. The Raiders reached 262 spots to get him at No. 32. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 RJ Oben
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Elijhah Badger
In pick 32 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They left a pile of value on the table to take Denzel Burke this early at slot 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at pick No. 68 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
They talked themselves into Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Karene Reid
They reached a country mile for Karene Reid at No. 143, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at slot 180 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 C.J. Baskerville
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for C.J. Baskerville. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shemar James
Value said wait; Shemar James in pick No. 222 says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
