Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Henderson: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LaDarius Henderson got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 203. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, J.J. McCarthy in the 48th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in pick 91: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in Round 3, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 DJ James
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ James. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 115th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid up for Jaylen Wright at pick No. 150 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Nothing to complain about; Michael Barrett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They robbed the room for LaDarius Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
They paid sticker price for Jaden Crumedy in No. 234, and that is fine. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
