The Garrett Dellinger pick is the one that will follow the Raiders into the fall. They took him 69 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

However the rest shakes out, Dotson at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 14 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 22
In the 28th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
Xavier Watts at pick No. 37 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 21
Steal is underselling it; Kenneth Grant at the 39th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 76
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Bond at No. 72 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at the 80th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 115
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in the 108th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 151
They went early on Bhayshul Tuten in pick 143, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 108
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Mello Dotson · CB · rank 132
Somehow Mello Dotson was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 184
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach slot 213 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 284
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at Round 6, Pick 39, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
