Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB
The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Raiders did not so much draft Da'Shawn Womack as overpay for him, 37 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 36th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
A reach for Jake Slaughter in pick No. 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Carter Smith
They went early on Carter Smith in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Sabb. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in Round 4, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
No drama and no debate, Bryce Lance went about where he belonged in No. 117. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Bryce Boettcher
A real head-scratcher, Bryce Boettcher in the 135th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick176
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A tidy little value on Taylen Green in No. 176, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219
Rnd7
Da'Shawn Womack
A wild overpay on Da'Shawn Womack in pick No. 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
