How does one grade the Raiders’ 2017 draft? If you base it on rookie production, it’s a flat F, no question about it. They got just about nothing from that class i their first season. The problem with that is the top of that class missed most of the semester with illness.
For that reason, Mel Kiper gave the Raiders the same grade after year one as he did after the draft.
Post-draft grade: C
The Gareon Conley situation before the draft really was unprecedented. He was accused of rape only days before the first round, and several teams had taken him completely off their boards.
