FutureD-
The Raiders reached for Crawford and never recovered. Grade: F. Some picks age like wine; Keyron Crawford at Round 6, Pick 4 will need to, sitting 45 spots clear of his grade. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with tight end still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. More want than need.
Pick13
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 13 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at the 25th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick26
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick29
Rnd1
Romello Height
In the 29th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
KC Concepcion
In pick 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christen Miller
No edge and no loss on Christen Miller in the 36th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in pick 59, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 60, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren adds a safety and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick67
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Fields at Round 3, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tim Keenan III well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
They did well to land Trinidad Chambliss in slot 120, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 134. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 5, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick180
Rnd6
Taylen Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Taylen Green in the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Keyron Crawford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keyron Crawford. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They paid up for Trey Zuhn III at the 189th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
A conviction pick on Tristan Leigh at the 199th overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd7
Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at No. 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the 254th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
