There is reaching, and then there is Will Howard at No. 37. The Raiders jumped the board by 66 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Scourton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 10th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Will Howard at Round 2, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Nic Scourton slipping to pick 41 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dylan Sampson in the 68th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They took Jordan Phillips at par in No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
