The Raiders torched the value chart for Chad Lindberg, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 7th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
Zak Zinter in pick No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in slot 112. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 144
They paid up for Beaux Limmer at the 134th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 175
They went early on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 186
Ethan Driskell at Round 5, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 221
They reached a country mile for Sheridan Jones at Round 6, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
Chad Lindberg at the 208th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
Myles Jones at pick No. 217 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
Dwight McGlothern at the 234th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
