Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The AJ Green selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 55 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

However the rest shakes out, Bolden at that price is a win they earned. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In pick 13 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 KJ Bolden
KJ Bolden at the 44th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews in pick No. 120 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 AJ Green
They reached into another round for AJ Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Mateen Ibirogba
Value with a capital V on Mateen Ibirogba in No. 184, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 12: Jermaine Mathews Jr. for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
