Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Raiders never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Yurosek reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 14th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 46th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They took Jalen McMillan at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick192 Rnd6 Devin Neal
A reasonable price with a little left over, Devin Neal in slot 192. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Yurosek a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
