Conviction outran the board for the Raiders, and it cost them: F. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Raiders started one anyway for Eric Gentry, 96 picks ahead of schedule. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In No. 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in slot 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Olaivavega Ioane. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in the 47th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
No drama and no debate, Sam Leavitt went about where he belonged in pick No. 67. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They liked Zachariah Branch enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 102. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Xavier Chaplin
Fair-plus on Xavier Chaplin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They paid a round early for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 136, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Jatta in Round 6, Pick 3, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 187 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd7
Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in the 216th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
They paid up for Malik Hartford at the 217th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
They went early on Roderick Kearney in Round 7, Pick 14, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jamal Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Jamal Haynes at pick No. 247 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at slot 251 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
