Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA+
The Raiders let Gould fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, Round 6, Pick 33, roughly 60 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Steal is underselling it; Christian Haynes at the 78th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 112 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in Round 5, Pick 12 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalyx Hunt
They robbed the room for Jalyx Hunt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Taking Anthony Gould in pick No. 208 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 229, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
