Las Vegas Raiders

A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B.

Nobody had Drake Nugent this high, and it is not close. The Raiders reached 62 spots to get him at the 148th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In the 17th overall pick they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 20
Taking Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 48 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 119
Spencer Rattler in No. 59 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
A slide stopped in the 77th pick, with Patrick Paul worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
Steal is underselling it; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 86 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Circle this one: Bucky Irving at pick 112 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · James Williams · S · rank 125
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in No. 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 169
Kamal Hadden at pick 208 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 178
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at the 223rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 180
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Williams in pick No. 227, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
Jase McClellan in the 229th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
