FutureB
The Raiders kept it disciplined and banked a B. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Jay Higgins. He came off 35 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Emmanwori in pick 37. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick38
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Fair-plus on Omarion Hampton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They paid sticker price for Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 56th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
A tidy little value on Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in pick No. 73. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Will Howard
Will Howard at the 108th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jay Higgins in pick No. 144, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than pick 206, and the safety fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
