Elvis DRAFTING FOR THERaiders

Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
Larceny in the 212th pick lands the Raiders a B, Paul Jr. and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Chris Paul Jr. slide 95 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They will need Prieskorn to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick 6 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at slot 68. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kurtis Rourke
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kurtis Rourke. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 3. Edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the 139th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn in No. 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at the 221st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
