The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Azareye'h Thomas slide 120 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Rourke to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 3
Kelvin Banks Jr. in No. 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 137
Value said wait; Kurtis Rourke in Round 3, Pick 9 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 39
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to slot 74, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Josh Conerly Jr. · OT · rank 45
Somehow Josh Conerly Jr. was still sitting there in the 107th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.9 · Pick 110 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 104
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 142 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 96
Taking Elic Ayomanor in the 179th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Cam Skattebo in slot 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 246
Nick Nash at pick No. 216 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 102
Steal is underselling it; Azareye'h Thomas at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
