Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 96: the Raiders steal Strong and grade out a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Raiders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Strong that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 32 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah World
No edge and no loss on Isaiah World in the 36th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Somehow Ian Strong was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Value with a capital V on Chandler Rivers in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 112, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 113 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 126th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick 134 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Fair-plus on Isaac Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick173 Rnd5 David Oke
They read the board right and David Oke was the payoff at the 173rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Good price on Duce Robinson in Round 6, Pick 3, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Aamil Wagner in No. 185. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner slipping to pick No. 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
