Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Barryn Sorrell a full 100 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Getting Dotson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 6th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 68 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They read the board right and Tez Johnson was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 143rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in slot 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 6, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Taking Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 222 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
