Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 208th overall pick lands the Raiders a B, Torrence and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Ro Torrence, the No. 177 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 208th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 13 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A quiet steal in the 44th overall pick: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They barely believed it either: Xavier Worthy still on the board at Round 3, Pick 13. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Steal is underselling it; Calen Bullock at pick No. 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 148th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Taking Ro Torrence in No. 208 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jaylen Harrell
A slide stopped in slot 223, with Jaylen Harrell worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
