Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders robbed the room for Cooper Jr.. Final grade: B+.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Omar Cooper Jr., the No. 82 name on the board, in pick 118. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Every board in the league had Mesidor lower, and that gap is the story.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reach for Olaivavega Ioane in the 33rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 John Mateer
A conviction pick on John Mateer at the 61st overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 4, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They let Monroe Freeling come to them and pounced at pick 124. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A reach on DeMonte Capehart in slot 136; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Bud Clark
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bud Clark in No. 168, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kage Casey
Steal is underselling it; Kage Casey at No. 182 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at slot 183 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
No edge and no loss on Bryce Foster in pick 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
