Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
The Raiders let Frazier fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Zach Frazier tumbling to the Raiders in the Round 4 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Raiders paired the rookies with proven help, Tyron Smith leading the way.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In the end it comes back to Troy Fautanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Fautanu. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 D.J. James
They took D.J. James at par in the 76th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 112th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in pick 149: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to Round 5, Pick 16 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
