They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop.

They banked enough surplus on Hopper to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 23
In pick 32 they get a passer to set the clock by, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 78
Malachi Corley at the 77th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 104
They took Marshawn Kneeland at par in No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
They went early on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 150
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 153
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 177 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 196
They paid sticker price for Rasheen Ali in the 190th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
Nice patience on Darius Muasau, who had no business lasting to the 234th overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
