Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueD+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a F.

The Raiders put a flag in the ground for E.J. Williams Jr., 193 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

However the rest shakes out, Bell at that price is a win they earned.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 67 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Red Murdock
A big swing on Red Murdock at No. 108, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Somehow Skyler Bell was still sitting there in slot 111, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan in the 134th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 John Michael Gyllenborg
Value said wait; John Michael Gyllenborg in the 175th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Khalil Dinkins
They reached a country mile for Khalil Dinkins at No. 177, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jalen Huskey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Huskey this early at slot 185. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick208 Rnd6 Namdi Obiazor
They reached into another round for Namdi Obiazor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
A tidy little value on Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 218, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at pick 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dane Key
They paid sticker price for Dane Key in Round 7, Pick 13, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Allen
A wild overpay on Marcus Allen in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 E.J. Williams Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for E.J. Williams Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Travis Burke
They talked themselves into Travis Burke at pick 244, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
A real head-scratcher, Zen Michalski in pick No. 250 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Gary Smith III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gary Smith III in slot 257, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
