Start where it matters. The Raiders took Carson Beck to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Nwankpa pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Fatheree II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 7 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
A slide stopped in pick 39, with Tacario Davis worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They took Clay Webb at par in the 71st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 103 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Reuben Fatheree II at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Sanders at Round 6, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
No drama and no debate, Jalen Travis went about where he belonged in the 199th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
