Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

NeedA-

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Raiders. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Raiders never addressed tight end, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.
Montgomery at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Thompson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Colin Simmons
Colin Simmons at the 1st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mario Craver
Mario Craver at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 3, with Luke Montgomery worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd4
Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown in the 102nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at pick No. 117 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in slot 174. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Quintrevion Wisner
No edge and no loss on Quintrevion Wisner in pick 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in slot 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at Round 7, Pick 3 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
