Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Bullard from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Javon Bullard, Round 3, Pick 32, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They will need Steele to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in No. 32, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonathon Brooks. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 44. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in slot 77, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Javon Bullard while clear needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to pick 113. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 11 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Value with a capital V on Nathan Thomas in the 190th pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Steele this early at No. 231. The roster fit checks out.
