Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Raiders took Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
No drama and no debate, Benjamin Morrison went about where he belonged in slot 37. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 68 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kobe King
They reached into another round for Kobe King, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A wild overpay on Ajani Cornelius in pick 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Fair-plus on Caleb Ransaw, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in the 215th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at pick 222, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
