Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Ty Hamilton in the 213th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Burden III makes the weekend a net positive.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They read the board right and Luther Burden III was the payoff at slot 37. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Howard
A tidy little value on Will Howard in the 108th overall pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A wild overpay on Seth McLaughlin in pick 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They reached into another round for Jordan Hancock, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Hamilton in the 213th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They let Jason Marshall Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at pick No. 222 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
