Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureC-
The Raiders let Pegues fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Pegues to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 6th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 5, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in slot 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 67th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They read the board right and Dylan Sampson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They let Danny Stutsman come to them and pounced at the 107th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at slot 144 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the 182nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
