Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Teddye Buchanan, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Thomas makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tetairoa McMillan in pick No. 15. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to Round 2, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than the 68th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Fair-plus on Darien Porter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
A clean, defensible pick in pick 108 with a little surplus value in Will Howard. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 117th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 143, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 CJ West
They jumped the gun on CJ West, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They did well to land Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 37, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in No. 215, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick 242 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
