Start where it matters. The Raiders took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
