Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Spencer Rattler; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at slot 78.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kalen King
In pick No. 14 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They left a pile of value on the table to take Spencer Rattler this early at Round 3, Pick 14. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A slide stopped in the 114th overall pick, with Smael Mondon Jr. worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A straight-up fair deal on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 151, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
You do not let a wide receiver like De'Corian Clark reach No. 192 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Khris Bogle
A big swing on Khris Bogle at slot 235, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
