Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

Ward is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a D. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at No. 247, a reach of 47 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
The Grant steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In pick No. 6 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than No. 37, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 4; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
They paid sticker price for Xavier Restrepo in the 108th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nick Nash
The board had cheaper options than Nick Nash at the 143rd pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A big swing on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 213, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick215
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 39. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They paid a round early for Carson Vinson in the 217th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards slipping to No. 222 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They talked themselves into Nick Martin at pick 239, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in slot 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
