Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Bryant that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
No drama and no debate, Cam Ward went about where he belonged in the 6th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They liked Barrett Carter enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 4. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 108 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A clean, defensible pick in No. 143 with a little surplus value in Hollin Pierce. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick 180 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in slot 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
No edge and no loss on Kyle Monangai in the 215th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A conviction pick on Cam Jackson at slot 222 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
