Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Nobody had Tyler Harrell this high, and it is not close. The Raiders reached 155 spots to get him at No. 232.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The Mahogany pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 25 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid a round early for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at pick No. 89 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A conviction pick on Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in the 113th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick 127 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 128 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid up for Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 147 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in slot 198 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They jumped the gun on Taulia Tagovailoa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell in Round 7, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Daequan Hardy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
