Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Raiders: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Trikweze Bridges at the Round 3 slot will need to, sitting 359 spots clear of his grade.

The Cornelius pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Benjamin Morrison and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 6th pick they get an island corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
The board fumbled Matthew Golden all the way to the 37th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trikweze Bridges
A real head-scratcher, Trikweze Bridges in No. 68 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
They talked themselves into Riley Leonard at slot 108, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Gabriel at pick 143. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick213 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryson Nesbit well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at No. 224 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at slot 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
