Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureA+
The Raiders robbed the room for Coleman Jr.. Final grade: C+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kevin Coleman Jr., the 182nd overall pick, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Allen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
If Arvell Reese and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In slot 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick13
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 15th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Christen Miller
They read the board right and Christen Miller was the payoff at pick No. 46. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker with tight end open.
Pick72
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keionte Scott at pick 72. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Taking Jake Golday in the 77th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Logan Jones
Logan Jones in Round 3, Pick 29 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Bud Clark
A tidy little value on Bud Clark in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the 117th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Drew Allar
The board had cheaper options than Drew Allar at the 134th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Matt Gulbin
By-the-book stuff, Matt Gulbin at pick 175 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 182 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
VJ Payne
They jumped the gun on VJ Payne, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Cole Payton in slot 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
