If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Raiders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Arnold falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Adding Chris Godwin by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Terrion Arnold at No. 46 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Mohamed Kamara at Round 3, Pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
