The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Smael Mondon Jr. slide 142 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Reaching for McCoy left real value on the table behind him. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 3
In No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 29
A tidy little value on Isaiah Bond in slot 33, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · James Pearce Jr. · DE · rank 16
Circle this one: James Pearce Jr. at pick No. 67 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 56
Nice patience on Jason Marshall Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 71. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 26
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 103, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 139 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 45
Taking Kaleb Johnson in the 139th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 37
A linebacker of that caliber at the 179th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Riley Mahlman · OT · rank 112
Riley Mahlman at Round 6, Pick 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.2 · Pick 216 · Cooper Mays · C · rank 267
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Mays this early at pick 216. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Bru McCoy · WR · rank 302
Bru McCoy at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
