The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Guyton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 13 they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Tyler Guyton at the 44th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
