Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Wells Jr.: B-.

The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Schwesinger pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots. Wells Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 63 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Carson Schwesinger at linebacker with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Milroe at the 108th overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon is a better player than slot 143 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick180 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
They did well to land Willie Lampkin in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Taking Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 213 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at No. 215 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens slid further than he should have, and pick 222 is lovely value for the safety. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
