Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the 102nd pick: the Raiders steal Washington and grade out a A.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: A'Mauri Washington, the No. 38 name on the board, in pick No. 102.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The CeeDee Lamb deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to Leonard Moore, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
In the 12th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In pick No. 20 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
Nice patience on Ahmad Hardy, who had no business lasting to slot 36. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Echoles
Somehow Will Echoles was still sitting there in pick 67, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 A'Mauri Washington
The board fumbled A'Mauri Washington all the way to the 102nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl in No. 117 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Shadre Hurst
Shadre Hurst in Round 4, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Demond Williams Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Demond Williams Jr. at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at slot 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
A tidy little value on Cayden Lee in the 183rd pick, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jackson Bennee
Taking Jackson Bennee in pick 219 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
