The Raiders torched the value chart for Jonah Coleman, taking him 34 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They have staked the next five years on Carson Beck, which is the only story that really matters here. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The White III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 7 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
In No. 17 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 39th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Danny Stutsman is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jasheen Davis in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached into another round for Jonah Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Marcus Mbow in the 167th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at pick No. 199. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
