Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Brenden Rice, 38 picks early at the 75th overall pick.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 11th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brenden Rice well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at pick No. 148, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
They went early on Jasheen Davis in No. 189, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
The board had cheaper options than Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
