Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Raiders bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 175th pick, a good 116 spots before the room expected him.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Slaughter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Caleb Downs and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They paid a round early for Garrett Nussmeier in slot 33, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sonny Styles at the 52nd overall pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 65 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in Round 4, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in Round 4, Pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
They reached into another round for Gracen Halton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A wild overpay on Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 175th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
