Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Torricelli Simpkins III, 51 picks early at the 213th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
On value alone, Golden makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value.
Pick37
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in the 37th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in the 68th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Will Howard
Will Howard at No. 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 143 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick No. 180 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
Torricelli Simpkins III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Torricelli Simpkins III well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
A big swing on Ty Hamilton at the 215th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Nazir Stackhouse
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nazir Stackhouse at slot 222. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
