Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

So much rides on Bo Nix that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Davis at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
In pick No. 13 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 20
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 30
In pick 30 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 46
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roman Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
Cole Bishop slipping to No. 112 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
Caelen Carson in the 117th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
They will replay Cedric Gray at the 148th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 156
Taking Isaiah Davis in No. 208 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 218
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 219. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 3: Jared Wiley for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
They read the board right and Garret Greenfield was the payoff at slot 229. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
