The one they had to fix is still broken. The Raiders left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 68th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
