Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: David Stone, pick No. 56, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Reaching for Lee left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Echoles
In the 22nd pick they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
David Stone
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like David Stone reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84
Rnd3
Reed Harris
They jumped the gun on Reed Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They talked themselves into Quincy Rhodes Jr. at No. 87, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 124th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Cayden Lee
Cayden Lee in pick 158 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at slot 200 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.
