The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Andrew Mukuba slide 80 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Cook pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

With edge rusher and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 21
Kenneth Grant at pick 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Jihaad Campbell in slot 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 50
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 27 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 69
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 88
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in the 81st pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 75
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Bond in the 91st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.6 · Pick 108 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Barrett Carter while clear needs at edge rusher and tight end sat open.
R5.5 · Pick 143 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 126
Emery Jones Jr. slipping to slot 143 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.28 · Pick 166 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 86
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to Round 5, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.4 · Pick 180 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 179
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 180th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.37 · Pick 213 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 224
A reach on Cam Jackson in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
R6.39 · Pick 215 · Brady Cook · QB · rank 270
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.6 · Pick 222 · Howard Cross III · DL · rank 218
A tidy little value on Howard Cross III in pick No. 222, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
