If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Raiders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Spann-Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 21
In slot 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
A premium they did not need to pay, T'Vondre Sweat a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 60th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Value said wait; Cam Hart in No. 112 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 14. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
They took Joe Milton III at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Aki Ogunbiyi · OG · rank 192
By-the-book stuff, Aki Ogunbiyi at the 193rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 220
A conviction pick on Jontrey Hunter at pick 211 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 231
Fair-plus on Steele Chambers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Mark Perry · S · rank 244
They paid a round early for Mark Perry in the 235th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
