Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders won the night they stopped Porter from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Darien Porter fell into Round 4, Pick 6. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Ratledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 54 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at the 68th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in pick No. 87, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 180th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Value with a capital V on Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 215, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
You do not let a running back like Tahj Brooks reach Round 7, Pick 4 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw slid further than he should have, and pick 222 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at the 238th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
