Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Raiders left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
The Ersery reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value.
Pick37
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A reach for Aireontae Ersery in No. 37; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
