Overall draft thoughts

Grade: B+

The Raiders came away with what they needed profoundly on both sides of the ball, which is speed and competitive toughness. Those things have been lacking the past two seasons. The Raiders went and added dogs to all levels of the field. Damon Arnette was the only player who didn’t have a strong athletic profile at a skill position. All the rest were unique in those areas.

The Raiders have serious pieces around Derek Carr for him to conduct the offense and just play point guard. The offense was in the top ten in most efficiency metrics and should even better this season. The Raiders should be able to put up points and could be one of the most exciting offenses in the league.
