The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They are betting Tagovailoa proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 49
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in No. 50, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick No. 77 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 100
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in Round 3, Pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in slot 113. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
Tommy Eichenberg at the 147th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 166
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Gould at the 178th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Nick Gargiulo · C · rank 202
They went early on Nick Gargiulo in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 223
A conviction pick on Myles Cole at slot 210 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 178
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick No. 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 276
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 227th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
