Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Matthew Jones, 42 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Austin Booker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Booker in pick 44, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A premium they did not need to pay, Blake Corum a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 77th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They jumped the gun on Blake Fisher, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in No. 135 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in Round 5, Pick 12. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 212th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nice patience on Nathaniel Watson, who had no business lasting to slot 223. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
