Priorities are a choice, and the Raiders made a strange one, taking Renardo Green at safety in pick No. 89 with quarterback, tight end and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lassiter.

They will need Bishop to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.19 · Pick 51 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
Xavier Legette is a better player than Round 2, Pick 19 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamari Lassiter in the 57th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at pick No. 58. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
Value with a capital V on T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
A clean, defensible pick in pick 77 with a little surplus value in Jaylen Wright. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at No. 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Renardo Green · S · rank 76
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 26 on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen in the 91st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
They did well to land Jonah Elliss in slot 92, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
