Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Raiders steal Echoles and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Echoles, the No. 14 name on the board, stolen at Round 2, Pick 29.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting Saka proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In the 30th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Will Echoles
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 61st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at pick 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anto Saka
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anto Saka this early at pick No. 94. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 J'Koby Williams
They jumped the gun on J'Koby Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Marcus Neal Jr.
Somehow Marcus Neal Jr. was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They took DJ McKinney at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Devin McCuin
A straight-up fair deal on Devin McCuin at pick No. 137, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Bobo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
They let Mateen Ibirogba come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
A tidy little value on Benjamin Brahmer in Round 6, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Monroe Mills
A real head-scratcher, Monroe Mills in pick 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
