Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Jordan Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Quinyon Mitchell in No. 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in the 44th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in slot 51 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They let Christian Haynes come to them and pounced at pick 77. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They took McKinnley Jackson at par in the 121st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A real head-scratcher, Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to No. 210, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They paid a round early for Trey Knox in the 221st overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick No. 227 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
