Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent the 234th pick on Joshua Cephus, a name the board had a full 25 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean

They took Cooper DeJean at par in Round 1, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat

A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at pick 44, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe

A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick112 Rnd4 Dominick Puni

Dominick Puni in the 112th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright

Jaylen Wright at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
