Draft Grade — Raiders

Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 3: the Raiders steal Green and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Taylen Green, the No. 189 name on the board, stolen at the 218th overall pick.

The Raiders indulged a want in Styles while a need in edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Foster pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Downs at the 4th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 65 on Sonny Styles with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The board had cheaper options than Tacario Davis at the 111th pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in Round 4, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid a round early for Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at No. 173 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No drama and no debate, Xavier Nwankpa went about where he belonged in pick 181. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick218 Rnd7 Taylen Green
The board fumbled Taylen Green all the way to No. 218, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 219th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
