Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Raiders: B-.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Spencer Rattler, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 13th pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
Value said wait; Spencer Rattler in the 44th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
They read the board right and T'Vondre Sweat was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A quiet steal in pick 112: Blake Fisher for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 5, Pick 14 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick190 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
The board fumbled Theo Johnson all the way to slot 190, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 14 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
