FutureB
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: B. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Michael Penix Jr. is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Taylor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick77
Rnd3
DJ James
A cornerback of that caliber at the 77th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
Nice patience on DeWayne Carter, who had no business lasting to No. 114. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams at slot 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick208
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
A big swing on Trey Taylor at pick No. 208, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229
Rnd7
Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick 229 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
