Draft Grade — Raiders

Grand theft in pick No. 229: the Raiders steal Flournoy and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Ryan Flournoy slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Mahogany reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Fair-plus on Kamari Lassiter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A wild overpay on Christian Mahogany in No. 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 112 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in slot 148; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They will replay Tahj Washington at the 208th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 229 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
