Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D+
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Not the weekend the Raiders were hoping for: D+.

Nobody else had Montravius Lloyd anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Raiders did, by 485 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Pierre pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
In the 14th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Yhonzae Pierre
Yhonzae Pierre at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Anto Saka
They talked themselves into Anto Saka at No. 79, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Montravius Lloyd
Montravius Lloyd at pick 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dylan Braithwaite
A wild overpay on Dylan Braithwaite in slot 155, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 194th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
