Overall Grade

Overall, I gave the 2020 Las Vegas Raiders draft class a B+.  They were able to fill many needs, including playmakers on offense and in the secondary, and also brought in some versatile players who could be used all over the field this season.

At the end of the day, when you look at the selections that were made, you can see that there was a common theme among them all. Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden are looking to build a team that at the core of it’s foundation has high character, a strong work ethic, loves the game, is fast, offers versatility, and is tough.

Next. Las Vegas Raiders have become the real Tiger Kings. dark

When you look at it through that lens, than the objectives were met, and this is a better team than it was on Wednesday. There is a clear plan and vision for the direction of the organization, and Mayock and Gruden are executing it, and the future certainly looks bright as the franchise moves to Las Vegas.

Overall Grade: B+
