Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Antonio Williams, the No. 71 name on the board, in the Round 4 slot.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Zuhn III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick 6 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christen Miller in the 37th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Taurean York
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 4 with a little surplus value in Taurean York. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Antonio Williams
Somehow Antonio Williams was still sitting there in No. 106, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
They read the board right and Brendan Sorsby was the payoff at the 114th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Chris Johnson at pick No. 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A tidy bit of business in slot 182, where Aaron Anderson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
