Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 84 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 212. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Reaching for Cook left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

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

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
In the 30th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 55
Dylan Fairchild in slot 56 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 66
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at Round 2, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 74
Jayden Higgins in pick 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 61
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at pick No. 73 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
Barrett Carter in No. 142 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Brady Cook · QB · rank 237
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at the 178th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 84
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Maxen Hook · S · rank 225
Maxen Hook at pick No. 216 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
