The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a C+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent the 172nd overall pick on Eugene Asante, a name most had 260 spots down the list.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Walker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the 6th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick18
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 18 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 68 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
They jumped the gun on Dorian Strong, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
They reached a country mile for Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 111, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raheim Sanders in the 114th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Upton Stout
A wild overpay on Upton Stout in pick No. 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at No. 146, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Eugene Asante
A real head-scratcher, Eugene Asante in slot 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ja'Quinden Jackson
They reached into another round for Ja'Quinden Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 37, where Joshua Gray graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Andrew Armstrong
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Armstrong well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
