Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for McCord: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kyle McCord slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at pick 143. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Brown reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 6th overall pick they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in pick No. 68. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in No. 143 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 4, with Jack Nelson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They read the board right and Jack Kiser was the payoff at pick 213. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 215th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Sam Brown
A reach for Sam Brown in Round 7, Pick 6; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
