Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at pick No. 213 will need to, sitting 139 spots clear of his grade. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took West. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than No. 37, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in slot 72, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Value with a capital V on Quinshon Judkins in the 80th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in the 148th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at slot 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No edge and no loss on Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 213th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West at pick 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai slid further than he should have, and the 230th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
