Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Kyle McCord, the No. 121 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 213. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Dellinger has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Michael Pittman Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in pick 34. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 11
They robbed the room for Matthew Golden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 45
Benjamin Morrison at No. 36 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
A conviction pick on Xavier Watts at slot 37 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at the 68th overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
R4.1 · Pick 103 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 115
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.3 · Pick 105 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 75
The board fumbled Isaiah Bond all the way to Round 4, Pick 3, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 100
Cam Skattebo slipping to pick No. 108 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.24 · Pick 126 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 112
They read the board right and Hollin Pierce was the payoff at No. 126. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 117
Taking Joshua Farmer in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.16 · Pick 154 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 125
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jacob Parrish in the 154th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 127
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 180 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 121
Steal is underselling it; Kyle McCord at pick 213 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 190
Donovan Edwards in the 215th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 284
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
