Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Jaylon Hutchings, taking him 127 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. 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.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in slot 77 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They did well to land Nehemiah Pritchett in the 148th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 208 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson slipping to pick 223 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylon Hutchings
They reached into another round for Jaylon Hutchings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 229th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
