The grades for the Raiders were not super consistent, but they were mostly positive.
NFL.com
NFL.com gave grades for each day and an overall grade for the entire draft. The Raiders were given an A+ for their day one grade, A for day two and a B for day three with an overall grade of A. They thought highly of Amari Cooper, like everyone will, but also thought very highly of both Mario Edwards Jr. and Clive Walford.
Sports Illustrated
Sports Illustrated gave the Raiders a B+ for their 2015 draft class. They too liked both Cooper and Walford but also note fifth round pick Ben Heeney as a guy who was a nice pick. They may have graded the class higher if not for the fact that they worry about Edwards’ inconsistent play in college. That was his big knock, tremendous athleticism and potential, lacking in proven play on the field.
CBS Sports
CBS gave the Raiders a C- for their draft class. CBS loved the pick of Walford but was the first not to gush about the Cooper pick noting that they preferred Leonward Williams at that spot. CBS also had questions about the Mario Edwards pick. They named Max Valles as a guy who flashed on tape and was a third day gem.
I'd say we were somewhere around B-/C+.
