Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Raiders never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Sweat reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 44th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in slot 77, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in No. 190 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They went early on Xavier Thomas in pick 234, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
