Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Benjamin Yurosek in the 232nd overall pick, a good 34 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Fair-plus on Nate Wiggins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A slide stopped in the 54th pick, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 116 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at pick 127 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cameron Ward
The board had cheaper options than Cameron Ward at No. 160, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
They paid sticker price for Jordan Burch in Round 6, Pick 14, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 192nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
They left a pile of value on the table to take Benjamin Yurosek this early at slot 232. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at pick 233, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
