Nobody dealt better than the Raiders this weekend: B.

2024 NFL Draft
· 7 picks
· 0 steals
· 6 reaches
The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Isaiah Davis went at the 233rd pick, a good 60 picks before the board was ready.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Value said wait; Kiran Amegadjie in No. 76 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A big swing on Payton Wilson at the 112th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A reach for Ben Sinnott in the 149th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in pick No. 190. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at the 233rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
