FutureB-
The Raiders let Penix Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. You could see the war room lean forward. Michael Penix Jr. at Round 2, Pick 8 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Mahogany pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Michael Penix Jr.
Taking Michael Penix Jr. in the 40th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in pick No. 44. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 83 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
You do not let a wide receiver like Devontez Walker reach slot 89 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Will Shipley
A reach for Will Shipley in the 100th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
