Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Raiders bet big and early on Jacoby Windmon, 128 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 13 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 44th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A big swing on Michael Pratt at pick No. 112, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Taking Brennan Jackson in pick 148 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Circle this one: Brandon Coleman at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at Round 6, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They took Cody Schrader at par in slot 213, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jacoby Windmon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacoby Windmon this early at No. 223. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 229 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
