Somebody in the 216th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 83 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Reaching for Leonard left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
In the 6th pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 55
A real head-scratcher, Aireontae Ersery in slot 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 39
Taking Kaleb Johnson in pick 68 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 75
Jayden Higgins at No. 73 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 155
Riley Leonard at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 104
A safety of that caliber at the 142nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 209
Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 4 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 100
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 83
Devin Neal in Round 6, Pick 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 118
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach pick 222 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
