Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA
The Raiders let Brailsford fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Parker Brailsford, the No. 103 name on the board, stolen at the 135th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In pick No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nico Iamaleava
Nico Iamaleava in pick 40 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kevin Concepcion
Kevin Concepcion in the 53rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 71st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Good price on Monroe Freeling in Round 4, Pick 6, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Somehow Parker Brailsford was still sitting there in slot 135, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in No. 146 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at Round 6, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Miller Moss
They barely believed it either: Miller Moss still on the board at pick No. 186. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Velling
They let Jack Velling come to them and pounced at No. 220. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
