Future A-

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. However the rest shakes out, Suamataia at that price is a win they earned.

Reaching for Hopper left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In pick 13 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at No. 86 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 107
A tidy little value on Will Shipley in slot 112, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
A big swing on Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Good price on Jaylan Ford in the 208th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
They did well to land Garret Greenfield in pick No. 223, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
They jumped the gun on Josh Proctor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
