The Raiders overdrafted Tuten and paid the price. Grade: F. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Raiders took Bhayshul Tuten at Round 4, Pick 9, roughly 55 spots before his name belonged.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in pick No. 33: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the 37th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 4. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard at the 74th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 114 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Steal is underselling it; Brashard Smith at the 144th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 182 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
