Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B-.

The Mohamed Kamara selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 40 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Landing Hopper that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at pick 77, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 James Williams
A big swing on James Williams at slot 112, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Fair-plus on Dylan Laube, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Circle this one: Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
