FutureA
The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Gracen Halton selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 68 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The Raiders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Arvell Reese and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
A reasonable price with a little left over, Arvell Reese in pick No. 21. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick33
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Lomu at Round 2, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 65th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Julian Neal
Julian Neal at No. 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A real head-scratcher, Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick 114 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at slot 118 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They talked themselves into Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 136, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
