There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Dorian Singer a full 33 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Bishop value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Jer'Zhan Newton · DL · rank 16
In the 15th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 44
They paid up for J.J. McCarthy at the 35th pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 49
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Morgan at slot 58. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 63
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Burton at Round 2, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 117
Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 124
Gabriel Murphy at No. 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 135
No drama and no debate, Ray Davis went about where he belonged in the 135th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Dorian Singer · WR · rank 177
A real head-scratcher, Dorian Singer in the 144th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 162
They liked Jaylan Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 150
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in No. 157. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 154
The board fumbled Cole Bishop all the way to pick No. 172, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 196
A wild overpay on Tahj Brooks in slot 178, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
