Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Renardo Green. He came off 29 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fautanu. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at slot 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A conviction pick on Jarrian Jones at the 112th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Renardo Green. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
