Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders let Echoles fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Echoles tumbling to the Raiders in the 67th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Shelby pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Zabien Brown at No. 36, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Echoles
They robbed the room for Will Echoles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
The board fumbled Greg Johnson all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Taylor Wein
A big swing on Taylor Wein at Round 4, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Evans
No edge and no loss on Justin Evans in pick 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Justice Haynes
A reach for Justice Haynes in the 174th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at slot 180 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Payton Pierce
They jumped the gun on Payton Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd7 Braylan Shelby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braylan Shelby this early at pick 219. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
