2022 NFL Draft grades for all 32 teams: Who won the NFL Draft?
Las Vegas Raiders 2022 NFL Draft grade: A
90. Dylan Parham, IOL, Memphis
122. Zamir White, RB, Georgia
126. Neil Farrell, DL, LSU

238. Thayer Munford, OL, Ohio State
250. Brittain Brown, RB, UCLA
For the short term at least, the Raiders made one of the most impactful additions to their roster using their primary draft capital.
Trading for Davante Adams is absolutely huge. They got one of the most impactful offensive weapons in the NFL for the price of a first and second-round pick.
Reuniting Adams with his college QB Derek Carr could prove to be one of the biggest moves of the entire 2022 offseason, so how could you not give the Raiders an A for that investment?
Not only that, but they didn’t have to give up any future capital for Adams.
Dylan Parham out of Memphis is another great value pick at 90 overall as well. He is a super-athletic interior offensive lineman who should be a day one starter.
The Zamir White pick is fascinating because the Raiders were seemingly set at the running back position, but we know how much Patriots guys love Georgia Bulldogs.
Matthew Butler will be another good fit for the Raiders on that defensive line with some really good quickness off the snap. He’s explosive and translated that into career highs in sacks and TFL last year for the Vols.
Thayer Munford was a nice value in round seven and the Raiders obviously felt like they couldn’t live without UCLA’s Brittain Brown in round seven despite their depth at running back.
