The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hampton. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Dylan Fairchild at the 73rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
