Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Abrams-Draine: D-.

Somebody took the Raiders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The Milton III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On value alone, Abrams-Draine makes the weekend a net positive. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A clean, defensible pick in pick 13 with a little surplus value in Olumuyiwa Fashanu. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at the 44th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
They took Dillon Johnson at par in the 109th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in slot 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than slot 115, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A reach for Joe Milton III in pick No. 150; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Good price on Theo Johnson in pick 153, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in the 188th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Value with a capital V on Steele Chambers in the 234th pick, a genuine coup. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
