Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Raiders walked right past.
Montgomery falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Thompson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Colin Simmons
In slot 1 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Mario Craver
Mario Craver at the 36th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at pick No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Sammy Brown
Value with a capital V on Sammy Brown in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adon Shuler in pick 117. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in No. 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
They paid sticker price for Earnest Greene III in Round 5, Pick 36, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in the 180th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at pick No. 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jalen Thompson
They paid a round early for Jalen Thompson in the 219th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
