Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Raiders this weekend: B.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Trey Taylor, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. With edge rusher and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 77th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the 96th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick No. 98: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick99 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A clean, defensible pick in the 99th overall pick with a little surplus value in MarShawn Lloyd. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They paid sticker price for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in slot 148, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at No. 154 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick 208 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A slide stopped in the 223rd pick, with Garret Greenfield worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
