The Raiders did not so much draft Malachi Lawrence as overpay for him, 31 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
