There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Richard Jibunor a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Still pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In slot 18 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
A reach for Xavier Worthy in the 44th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in pick 52, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 18, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at pick No. 99, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Elijah Jones in the 117th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 173
A big swing on Jordan Travis at pick 148, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 225
A reach on Cedric Johnson in Round 6, Pick 33; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Tayvion Robinson · WR · rank 231
They went early on Tayvion Robinson in No. 223, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 232
No drama and no debate, Tylan Grable went about where he belonged in the 229th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Richard Jibunor · OLB-EDGE · rank 272
Richard Jibunor at slot 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster logic is harder to follow.
R7.34 · Pick 254 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 241
The board had Tarheeb Still higher than pick No. 254, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
