Las Vegas Raiders

No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Raiders.

The Raiders did not so much draft Eyabi Okie-Anoma as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Edwards at that price is a win they earned. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Jer'Zhan Newton · DL · rank 12
In pick 13 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 43
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 74
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in No. 77, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 117
They paid a round early for Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 123
Josh Newton at slot 113 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Brennan Jackson · DE-EDGE · rank 151
Brennan Jackson at the 145th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 146
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Barrett at slot 210, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 254
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Cephus. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 264
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eyabi Okie-Anoma this early at the 225th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 204
Daijun Edwards in No. 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
