Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 117 lands the Raiders a B-, McDonald and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jelani McDonald at pick No. 117 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Every board in the league had Harbor lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 14th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Gilliam at slot 49 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at No. 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jelani McDonald
Circle this one: Jelani McDonald at pick 117 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at the 127th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Horace Lockett
A reach for Horace Lockett in pick No. 153; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They robbed the room for Jermaine Mathews Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
