Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Raiders never got to the one that mattered most.

They are betting Boston proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 8th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Bell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Bell at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Nico Iamaleava
No drama and no debate, Nico Iamaleava went about where he belonged in the 73rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in pick No. 136 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Moten
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Moten at No. 190, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
They paid sticker price for Conner Weigman in pick 223, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
