Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Rattler: B+.

by GWNeRG · 2024 NFL Draft · 11 picks · 2 steals · 6 reaches
Value C-
Need B
Trades A+
Future A

The Raiders bet big and early on Jayson Jones, 83 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

So much rides on Spencer Rattler that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Morgan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 91
Value said wait; Spencer Rattler in the 32nd overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Morgan at the 44th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
A reach on Zak Zinter in slot 87; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
A conviction pick on Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 112 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Fair-plus on Darius Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
Malik Washington is a better player than Round 4, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen in slot 150 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 198
They paid a round early for Isaiah Williams in the 190th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Jayson Jones · DL · rank 296
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jayson Jones in pick 213, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathaniel Watson. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
