Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent Round 2, Pick 12 on Spencer Rattler, a name the board had a full 73 spots lower.

The Legette value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
They talked themselves into Spencer Rattler at No. 44, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in the 77th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 90th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Legette at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A slide stopped in the 210th overall pick, with Jaylan Ford worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick221 Rnd7 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in No. 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They read the board right and Nathaniel Watson was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 2. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in slot 227 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They barely believed it either: Nathan Thomas still on the board at pick 241. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
