Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureA-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Jacobs from sliding. Grade: D. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Murphy left real value on the table behind him. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 14th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 32nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
They let Adonai Mitchell come to them and pounced at slot 45. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Davis at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in slot 128. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 147, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the 167th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jha'Quan Jackson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui slid further than he should have, and pick 207 is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Frank Gore Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
