Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureC-
The Raiders won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
The Higgins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 10 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Nothing to complain about; Jack Sawyer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at the 45th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63
Rnd2
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in the 66th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 73 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 78 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in slot 85, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Jack Bech at Round 4, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Somehow Denzel Burke was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 143 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
They robbed the room for Jay Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
