A1 DRAFTING FOR THERaiders

Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureB-
The Raiders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Some picks age like wine; Michael Barrett at Round 5, Pick 13 will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 12 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at pick 44 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Value said wait; Kiran Amegadjie in slot 76 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 112th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at pick No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick190
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
