Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Paul Jr. should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Chris Paul Jr., the Round 6 slot, roughly 94 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than pick 37, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy bit of business in the 68th pick, where TreVeyon Henderson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 182 is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the 214th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 6, Pick 40 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in slot 224 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
