Start where it matters. The Raiders took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
Landing Mukuba that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots went begging.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Malaki Starks at pick No. 37 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Fairchild at pick 68. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots sat open.
