The Raiders lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Garrett Dellinger. He came off 70 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a C and check back in two years.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Simon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and tight end still on the board.
Hit on Jahdae Barron and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in the 33rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Amos a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 51 with a little surplus value in Aireontae Ersery. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 3 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 80 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
By-the-book stuff, Cam Skattebo at pick 108 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Cody Simon adds a linebacker while edge rusher and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick143
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at Round 5, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 180, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
A tidy bit of business in the 213th pick, where Donovan Edwards graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 215th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at slot 222, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
