Las Vegas Raiders

Skattebo should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a A.

Somebody in slot 218 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Johnson and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Will Johnson · CB · rank 8
In the 24th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
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. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in No. 97, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 89
They barely believed it either: Denzel Burke still on the board at pick No. 107. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.5 · Pick 144 · Ty Robinson · DL · rank 169
Ty Robinson at pick 144 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.4 · Pick 182 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 83
Barrett Carter at slot 182 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.36 · Pick 214 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 187
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 36, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.40 · Pick 218 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at No. 218 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.6 · Pick 224 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 227
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at pick 224 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
