Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B-.

The war room fell hard for Bud Clark, and it showed at No. 173: 27 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
No drama and no debate, Arvell Reese went about where he belonged in pick No. 6. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reach on Olaivavega Ioane in the 37th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
No edge and no loss on Antonio Williams in Round 3, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Scott at slot 114, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They took Logan Jones at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
A wild overpay on Lee Hunter in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in pick 220, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
