The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 126 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 37.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Roberts reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 5
In the 6th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 47
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Morrison a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 48
A safety of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 43
Dylan Sampson at pick No. 73 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 105
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.1 · Pick 139 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 158
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at No. 139. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.8 · Pick 146 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 82
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick 146, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 190
They paid up for Ricky White III at slot 181 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 126
They barely believed it either: Harold Perkins Jr. still on the board at the 212th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.2 · Pick 216 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 203
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Campbell at the 216th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 147
Le'Veon Moss in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
