Start where it matters. The Raiders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
The Hadden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Cooper Beebe in the 44th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Cam Hart is a better player than pick 112 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at pick No. 196. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They robbed the room for Tahj Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
