Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Burks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Deion Burks at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Uiagalelei lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 7th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They let Jake Slaughter come to them and pounced at pick No. 39. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Taurean York
Value with a capital V on Taurean York in Round 3, Pick 7, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick107 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A premium they did not need to pay, Monroe Freeling a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Deion Burks
They will replay Deion Burks at the 146th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold in pick 185 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
