Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Raiders never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Lagway pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Yhonzae Pierre
Yhonzae Pierre in Round 1, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Clev Lubin
They took Clev Lubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
No edge and no loss on Jamari Sharpe in the 80th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Peyton Bowen
A tidy little value on Peyton Bowen in pick 116, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jesse Perry
Jesse Perry in No. 156 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 DJ Lagway
DJ Lagway slid further than he should have, and the 195th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
