Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and McGlothern: B.

When a board-topper like Dwight McGlothern slides to No. 210, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Samson Ebukam pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 15 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 77th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 113th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in pick 147, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 18 with a little surplus value in Hunter Nourzad. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No drama and no debate, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went about where he belonged in No. 200. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick 210 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nice patience on Nathaniel Watson, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They let Tyrice Knight come to them and pounced at slot 225. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They read the board right and Josh Proctor was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 7. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
