Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders let Zinter fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

The Zinter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The veteran additions, Matthew Bergeron chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in No. 44. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They let McKinnley Jackson come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 31. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They will replay Zak Zinter at the 133rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to slot 213, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
