Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders turned the phones into found money: A-.

Nobody else had Eric Gentry anywhere near Round 7, Pick 4. The Raiders did, by 49 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Downs and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 8th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No edge and no loss on Jacob Rodriguez in pick 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in No. 92 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They liked J.C. Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 116th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in Round 4, Pick 17, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at pick No. 126 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 David Oke
David Oke at pick 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 1, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
A reach for Trebor Pena in pick No. 183; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
A premium they did not need to pay, Keyron Crawford a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in the 220th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
