You build a draft on nights like this. Jeffrey Bassa had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The cost of the Howard reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

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

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
Tetairoa McMillan at Round 1, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 44
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 22
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
Taking Omarion Hampton in No. 68 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.5 · Pick 106 · Will Howard · QB · rank 138
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.5 · Pick 142 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 65
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at pick 142. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 110
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 229
DJ Campbell in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 131
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach Round 6, Pick 41 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 227
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miles Frazier. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
