You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with DJ Campbell in slot 138.

However the rest shakes out, Perkins Jr. at that price is a win they earned. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 3
In pick No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 18
The board had Tre Harris higher than the 34th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 44
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at No. 65. It fills a real need, too.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 27
Jalon Walker in the 69th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 49
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.37 · Pick 138 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 212
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 104
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at Round 6, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 196
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky White III in the 212th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.2 · Pick 216 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 129
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.3 · Pick 217 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 247
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
