Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Raiders this weekend: B.

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at pick No. 124 regardless, 38 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They took Brian Thomas Jr. at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 41st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 87 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 99 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the 112th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick124 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in Round 4, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A reach on Chau Smith-Wade in No. 150; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 190th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jared Wiley in the 203rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Muasau at slot 217, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick234 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They paid a round early for Carson Steele in pick 234, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
