Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureA
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. The Raiders did not so much draft Sai'vion Jones as overpay for him, 35 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. However the rest shakes out, Knight Jr. at that price is a win they earned.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quinn Ewers well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in pick 108, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 119th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Brown. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
No edge and no loss on Quincy Riley in No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick215
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 6 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
