Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Raiders.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Raiders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.

Every board in the league had Harris lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In slot 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala at the 36th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, A.J. Harris a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
