Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: C-.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 37, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Stutsman pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

They will need TeSlaa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 14
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
Jihaad Campbell at the 37th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 46
Aireontae Ersery in slot 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 43
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at No. 59. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 84
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Danny Stutsman while clear needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots sat open.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 95
Jaylin Noel in pick 108 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Will Howard · QB · rank 102
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 155
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 6, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 171
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the 213th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Isaac TeSlaa · WR · rank 236
A wild overpay on Isaac TeSlaa in slot 215, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
