Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
Larceny in the 108th overall pick lands the Raiders a B, Mukuba and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Andrew Mukuba slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the 108th pick. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting TeSlaa proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 14th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They will replay Matthew Golden at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Morrison at No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at pick 68. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reach for Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 143; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
No edge and no loss on Vernon Broughton in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at slot 213. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick No. 215 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They barely believed it either: Caleb Rogers still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
