Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Spencer Rattler went at Round 2, Pick 12, a good 73 picks before the board was ready.

The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 17th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Spencer Rattler in Round 2, Pick 12, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 59 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A slide stopped in slot 77, with Blake Fisher worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A conviction pick on Leonard Taylor III at pick 86 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Taking Cam Hart in No. 113 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 147th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at pick 210 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and the 211th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in Round 7, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Good price on Garret Greenfield in slot 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 227 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
