Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Raiders' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The Thomas value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Henderson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 6th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 37 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
