Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Logue pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That McClellan pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 13 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They read the board right and Dominick Puni was the payoff at No. 112. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 138th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 150 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 6, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 231st overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They liked Zion Logue enough to skip the value, taking him in the 234th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
