The board owed the Raiders one, and it paid up: Keith Abney II, the No. 69 name on the board, sitting there at the 136th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Hunter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
