Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 170 picks early on Reid Carrico, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Milum pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 6 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in pick No. 37 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tez Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in the 178th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Reid Carrico
Reid Carrico at Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They barely believed it either: Kurtis Rourke still on the board at the 222nd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
