Las Vegas Raiders

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Raiders to a D.

Future B+

The Sam Hartman pick is the one that will follow the Raiders into the fall. They took him 52 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Cowing pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 44
Jonathon Brooks at pick 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
The board fumbled Ennis Rakestraw Jr. all the way to slot 68, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 80
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 101
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at the 102nd pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 136
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 122
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Tyrone Tracy Jr. for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 118
Steal is underselling it; Andru Phillips at pick No. 147 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 142
They will replay Jacob Cowing at slot 179 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.32 · Pick 207 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at No. 207. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 198
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 223rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
Garret Greenfield is a better player than the 229th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 283
Sam Hartman at pick 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
