Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Spencer Rattler, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Devonshire that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 27 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A premium they did not need to pay, Kingsley Suamataia a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at pick No. 66 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A tidy little value on Braelon Allen in the 112th pick, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Zak Zinter
Steal is underselling it; Zak Zinter at Round 5, Pick 2 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 148th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick208 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A big swing on Myles Murphy at Round 6, Pick 33, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the 229th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
