Las Vegas Raiders

Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Raiders: C+.

Future C-

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Nick Martin, taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Riley. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Tetairoa McMillan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.21 · Pick 21 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 24
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Jihaad Campbell at slot 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 68th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
The board had Alfred Collins higher than the 73rd overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 95
A reach on Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 82
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at the 107th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 81
Devin Neal at pick 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.5 · Pick 144 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 111
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to pick No. 144, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
R6.4 · Pick 182 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 176
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Dont'e Thornton Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.17 · Pick 195 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 166
Ajani Cornelius at the 195th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.36 · Pick 214 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 173
Quincy Riley in slot 214 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.40 · Pick 218 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 263
Value said wait; Nick Martin in No. 218 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
