Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Nobody else had Prince Pines anywhere near slot 239. The Raiders did, by 111 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Torrence value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The Travis Etienne Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
A real head-scratcher, Spencer Rattler in No. 44 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at pick 77 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Jackson in slot 112, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
The board fumbled Isaac Guerendo all the way to the 148th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 208th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at the 223rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat in pick 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bub Means
A premium they did not need to pay, Bub Means a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Prince Pines
They talked themselves into Prince Pines at slot 239, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
