FutureC
The Raiders won the night they stopped Noel from sliding. Grade: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Jaylin Noel, the No. 61 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 94. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. TeSlaa has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Ja'Quan McMillian gives the group a proven body among the projects.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A clean, defensible pick in pick 33 with a little surplus value in Emeka Egbuka. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They paid up for TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 37 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Good price on Trey Amos in No. 51, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 67th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than the 68th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Value with a capital V on Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
A reach for Luke Kandra in the 143rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 191 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Kain Medrano
No drama and no debate, Kain Medrano went about where he belonged in pick No. 213. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
They reached a country mile for Isaac TeSlaa at pick 215, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at slot 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
