Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Mullings: B.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kalel Mullings, the No. 160 name on the board, in the 180th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. Reaching for Fortune left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 6 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker is a better player than slot 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Value with a capital V on Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 4, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They read the board right and Savion Williams was the payoff at the 108th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
The board had cheaper options than O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Somehow Kalel Mullings was still sitting there in pick No. 180, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
The board had Donovan Edwards higher than pick 213, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse slid further than he should have, and the 215th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ricky White III in pick No. 222. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
