Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Dwight McGlothern. He came off 38 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham in the 13th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in No. 44 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 13. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They went early on Jarrian Jones in slot 113, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamal Hadden at pick 147. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach on JD Bertrand in pick No. 190; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 221 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
