Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureA+
The Raiders lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story. The Raiders did not so much draft Langston Hardy as overpay for him, 78 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That McClain pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Xavier Gilliam
In slot 29 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection.
Pick54
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Deuce Alexander
Deuce Alexander at the 80th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain at the 116th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee is a better player than Round 5, Pick 17 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195
Rnd6
Langston Hardy
A big swing on Langston Hardy at No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229
Rnd7
Lincoln Kienholz
Lincoln Kienholz at pick No. 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
