Somebody in No. 208 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Pratt has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Joe Alt graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 46
A quiet steal in pick 59: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 48
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at slot 77. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 69
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 23. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 99
The board had MarShawn Lloyd higher than No. 112, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 140
A reach for Michael Pratt in the 123rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 110
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 148th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 208, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
Ryan Flournoy in pick 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in the 227th overall pick, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 225
Frank Gore Jr. in the 229th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
