FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Raiders this weekend: B. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Nick Martin in No. 218. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Raiders indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots stayed open.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In No. 20 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than the 37th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 45th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at pick 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Nothing to complain about; Darien Porter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in the 81st overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at No. 121 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
You do not let a tight end like Terrance Ferguson reach the 144th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 182 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
Good price on Donovan Edwards in pick 193, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in pick 214, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd6
Nick Martin
They talked themselves into Nick Martin at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
