Larceny in the 143rd overall pick lands the Raiders a B, Parrish and all. When a board-topper like Jacob Parrish slides to slot 143, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not.
Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and the 37th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in the 55th pick: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slipping to slot 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They went early on Jalen Milroe in pick No. 86, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
They jumped the gun on Brashard Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick 143 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Nothing to complain about; Ajani Cornelius went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A reach for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the 181st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215
Rnd6
Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the 215th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in slot 222 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
