Draft Grade — Raiders

Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Raiders: C+. The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Antario Brown went at No. 199, a good 123 picks before the board was ready.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Harold Perkins Jr.
In slot 7 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 2, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 71 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Bear Alexander
No edge and no loss on Bear Alexander in pick No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd5
Jayden Higgins
Value said wait; Jayden Higgins in the 135th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167
Rnd6
Davin Vann
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davin Vann this early at the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199
Rnd7
Antario Brown
They reached into another round for Antario Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
