Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Watts: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Watts at slot 68 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 6 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy little value on Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in slot 68, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick 77 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at No. 108 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They barely believed it either: Dorian Strong still on the board at the 143rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
