Draft Grade — Raiders

The Raiders did enough to get by: C+. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Raiders left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick No. 6 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A clean, defensible pick in the 37th overall pick with a little surplus value in Omarion Hampton. It fills a real need, too.
