Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Maraad Watson, 62 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Spending an early pick on wide receiver with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Charlie Becker at wide receiver with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick48 Rnd2 Will Echoles
The board fumbled Will Echoles all the way to pick No. 48, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 59 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Of all the spots to shop, they chose wide receiver. Nyck Harbor in pick 79 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick90 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ian Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ian Moore well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 AJ Green
AJ Green in Round 5, Pick 15 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.
Pick194 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
Maraad Watson at the 194th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
