Future B

The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gavin Bartholomew at the 237th pick regardless, 29 picks early.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 30
In pick 16 they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 51
Jonah Elliss in No. 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 91
A wild overpay on Zach Frazier in Round 3, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 93
A reach on Zak Zinter in pick No. 76; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 108
Fair-plus on Tommy Eichenberg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.17 · Pick 153 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 166
They went early on Malachi Moore in the 153rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 177
They liked Cody Schrader enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 165. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 194
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Duce Chestnut · CB · rank 206
The board had cheaper options than Duce Chestnut at pick 190, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 254
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the 233rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Gavin Bartholomew · TE · rank 266
Gavin Bartholomew at pick No. 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
