Grade: A- 

Summary: Overall I think the Las Vegas Raiders addressed most of their needs and did a great job with getting value with their picks. The Raiders came out with a starting wide receiver, a starting defensive tackle, potential starters at cornerback and safety as well as potential impact players at tight end, center and edge rusher.

The Las Vegas Raiders attacked this offseason head-on and did a great job of filling holes in free agency and adding young talent in the draft. They improved their defense a lot from the previous year and continued to add weapons on their offense.

My favorite pick for this draft class was Terrell Burgess and the best value was Javon Kinlaw with their second pick in the first round. I think the biggest impact player for the Las Vegas Raiders would be Henry Ruggs III. He fits this culture and what the Raiders want to do on offense. He has a Tyreek Hill type of effect for this team and will help get other players open.

I gave the Las Vegas Raiders draft an A- with their first draft in Vegas addressing need and get talent all over the board. I think this class has a chance to make a difference early on and be tone setters for the rest of the league. If this class pans out and contributes big, I can see the Raiders competing for a spot at the playoffs in the 2020 NFL season.
