Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 143, a good 39 spots before the room expected him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Lundt at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 6th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in pick No. 68. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 143rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They read the board right and Chase Lundt was the payoff at pick 180. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in No. 213 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 215. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in Round 7, Pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
