Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 213th pick: the Raiders steal Shough and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tyler Shough, pick 213, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Raiders paired the rookies with proven help, Ja'Marr Chase leading the way.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in the 49th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in pick No. 68, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at slot 108 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 5: Darius Alexander for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Good price on Jack Nelson in pick 180, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
The board fumbled Tyler Shough all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at No. 215 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick222 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the 222nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
