Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Xavier Thomas; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 56 spots ahead at pick 190.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Pratt steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 13th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at Round 2, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They paid sticker price for Junior Colson in slot 77, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Pratt in the 112th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at No. 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in the 234th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
