FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Thompson: D-. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Getting Thompson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 6 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value.
Pick12
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 12th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
No edge and no loss on Olaivavega Ioane in the 36th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Genesis Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Genesis Smith in slot 102. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
A reach for J.C. Davis in Round 4, Pick 17; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
They read the board right and Trinidad Chambliss was the payoff at pick 134. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Brenen Thompson
They robbed the room for Brenen Thompson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
Fair-plus on Sawyer Robertson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd7
Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in Round 7, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
