Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureB
The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The war room fell hard for LaDarius Henderson, and it showed at slot 192: 39 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Spending an early pick on defensive back with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Rod Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Rod Moore while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick99
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 99th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
No edge and no loss on Javion Cohen in pick No. 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Moose Muhammad III
They took Moose Muhammad III at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at pick 192, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 235th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
