Las Vegas Raiders

A weekend the Raiders spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The Raiders torched the value chart for Nick Martin, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Edwards falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
R1.21 · Pick 21 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 17
In pick No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 19
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 37th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 76
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at No. 71 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 98
A quiet steal in No. 107: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.5 · Pick 144 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.4 · Pick 182 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 180
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.36 · Pick 214 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 186
Donovan Edwards in pick 214 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.40 · Pick 218 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 265
Nick Martin at the 218th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
