Las Vegas Raiders

Sanders should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Raheim Sanders fell into pick 212.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty in pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 13
Nick Emmanwori at slot 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 71
Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 77
They took Darien Porter at par in the 73rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Ty Robinson · DL · rank 164
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. It fills a real need, too.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 172
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at pick No. 142. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 123
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 178th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 147
Raheim Sanders in No. 212 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 204
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Corey Brooks at the 216th overall pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 186
Elijah Arroyo in slot 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
