FutureA+
The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: D. Somebody took the Raiders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Thornton Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 37th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in slot 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
No drama and no debate, Zy Alexander went about where he belonged in pick 97. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kurtis Rourke in Round 5, Pick 5. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nick Nash
No edge and no loss on Nick Nash in No. 149; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 171st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in the 180th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
A tidy little value on Caleb Ransaw in pick 213, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick215
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
They did well to land Jordan Hancock in pick No. 222, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
