The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 121 name on the board, in No. 223.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 55
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 39 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 35
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in the 70th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 61
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 106, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.9 · Pick 146 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Taking Jake Majors in slot 146 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 150
Michael Taaffe at the 212th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 210
DJ Campbell at pick 216 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.7 · Pick 223 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 121
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
