Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Raiders: B. The Raiders' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The cost of the Washington reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Smith at the 1st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ellis Robinson IV
They took Ellis Robinson IV at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 67 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at No. 102 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117
Rnd4
Xavier Chaplin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Chaplin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at pick No. 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
No drama and no debate, Earnest Greene III went about where he belonged in the 174th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Quintrevion Wisner
They paid sticker price for Quintrevion Wisner in pick 180, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen at pick 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Trey Leckner
Trey Leckner in the 219th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
