Las Vegas Raiders

A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D-, for the Raiders.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Raiders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Kamara to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Hardy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 7th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 117
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 88, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at pick 112, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Nothing to complain about; Kris Abrams-Draine went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 157
Sincere Haynesworth at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 163
The board had cheaper options than LaDarius Henderson at No. 150, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Good price on Christian Jones in slot 204, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
Darius Muasau at Round 6, Pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
The board had Daequan Hardy higher than Round 7, Pick 14, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 256
Myles Cole at slot 235 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
