Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The Tuten pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Ersery proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 6 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at pick No. 33, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
The board had cheaper options than Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 5, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at slot 67. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart slipping to the 68th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Dylan Sampson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 107. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in pick 182, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach Round 6, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
