Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Raiders, and a C+ to match.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took J'Mond Tapp a full 158 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Landing Evans III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Trevor Goosby that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 J'Mond Tapp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J'Mond Tapp. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 PJ Williams
PJ Williams is a better player than slot 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Anthony Evans III
Taking Anthony Evans III in the 153rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Que'Sean Brown
A wild overpay on Que'Sean Brown in No. 196, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
