Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Raiders to a D.

The Sam Hartman pick is the one that will follow the Raiders into the fall. They took him 53 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Washington.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 13th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 44th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Tampa in slot 54. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in No. 77 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They did well to land Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 85, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Good price on Mekhi Wingo in pick 112, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A tidy bit of business in No. 148, where Christian Jones graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
They went early on Nelson Ceaser in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in the 177th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at slot 206, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 208th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick No. 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 243 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
