The Raiders found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Michael Penix Jr. is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McGlothern. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Travis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in pick 44: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in the 77th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They paid up for Jordan Travis at pick No. 147 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
You do not let a cornerback like Dwight McGlothern reach slot 210 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at the 221st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in No. 225 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick227 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
