Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Williams: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nohl Williams slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the 218th pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 6 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach for JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 3, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slipping to the 94th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Good price on Pat Bryant in No. 144, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 182. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They reached into another round for Ty Hamilton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 218th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
