The Raiders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The rest of the league had time to spare on Eric O'Neill; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 79 spots ahead at No. 183. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
That Slaughter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 16 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at the 46th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
A wild overpay on Cade Klubnik in slot 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 102nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 117 with a little surplus value in Bishop Fitzgerald. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A slide stopped in slot 134, with Davison Igbinosun worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183
Rnd6
Eric O'Neill
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric O'Neill well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
George Gumbs Jr.
They reached a country mile for George Gumbs Jr. at the 215th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at Round 7, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
