Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Sam Hartman, 57 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Hardy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 44 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in the 112th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 150 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at Round 6, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy slid further than he should have, and pick 234 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
