FutureF
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Howard: F. You build a draft on nights like this. Will Howard had no business being available in pick 182, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It bottoms out at a F.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Revel Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left tight end open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In pick No. 6 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A reach for Marcus Mbow in the 39th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in slot 68: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 72 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 73rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at No. 144. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182
Rnd6
Will Howard
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 218th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
You do not let a wide receiver like Roc Taylor reach pick 224 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
