FINAL GRADE: A-
This draft is based on the top three picks, if we’re honest. The Raiders need to find a way to develop some of their underrated day three picks, but getting Amari Cooper and Clive Walford is huge. The Raiders added Mario Edwards Jr. in the second round, and if he reaches his ceiling this was a really solid draft class.
But like I said, the headliners are Cooper and Walford for me, and if they turn out, that’s all anyone will need to remember or care about from this draft class. The rest are bonuses.
