After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Cam Ward is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Burke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Isaiah Bond at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They jumped the gun on Denzel Burke, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
