Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 117th overall pick lands the Raiders a B, Mateer and all.

Call it larceny. John Mateer sat on the board until slot 117, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Rodriguez pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board.

They will need Rodriguez to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and slot 67 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 John Mateer
John Mateer at the 117th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Jacob Rodriguez, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick176 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in the 176th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
