Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Raiders won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: D-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Emery Jones Jr. slide 96 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Savaiinaea reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 6 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid up for Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 37 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where TreVeyon Henderson graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 73rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Milroe in Round 4, Pick 6. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They took Brashard Smith at par in the 118th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
The board had Roc Taylor higher than No. 214, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach the 218th pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
