Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Raiders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Corum reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In pick No. 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Blake Corum at pick 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A tidy little value on Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
