Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Raiders a B.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Devin Leary, 84 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Hadden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at slot 44 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Somehow Caelen Carson was still sitting there in pick No. 112, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at pick 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 208th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devin Leary well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 7, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
