Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dont'e Thornton Jr.; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 77 spots ahead at the 108th overall pick.

The Powell-Ryland pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 37, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 68 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in pick No. 143 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in the 180th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They barely believed it either: Antwaun Powell-Ryland still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cam Miller
The board had Cam Miller higher than the 215th pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
