Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: DeMonte Capehart, 54 picks early at the 221st pick.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Hart makes the weekend a net positive.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 44, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They read the board right and Cam Hart was the payoff at the 147th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at pick No. 165 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Williams a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 1 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
