The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Gadsden II: C-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 193 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 232nd overall pick.
The cost of the Savaiinaea reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to slot 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 39th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 3, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in pick No. 80, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They paid sticker price for Jalen Milroe in the 94th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Jaylin Noel for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
A curious use of slot 107. Edge rusher and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a linebacker in Danny Stutsman did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A want over a need in No. 108: Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety while edge rusher and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
By-the-book stuff, Terrance Ferguson at the 114th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
They liked Donovan Edwards enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 189. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
Somehow Oronde Gadsden II was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
