Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Jordan Ross a full 30 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Myrick falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In slot 13 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jordan Ross
A big swing on Jordan Ross at the 47th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
They jumped the gun on Samson Okunlola, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
Kingston Lopa at No. 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick152 Rnd5 Corey Myrick
Somehow Corey Myrick was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
