FutureA-
Larceny in pick No. 178 lands the Raiders a B+, Paul Jr. and all. Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at pick No. 178. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
Every board in the league had Taylor lower, and that gap is the story. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
No drama and no debate, Benjamin Morrison went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They will replay Tyleik Williams at the 57th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
The board had Dylan Sampson higher than No. 80, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 106th pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 109th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Roc Taylor
A big swing on Roc Taylor at pick 113, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Will Howard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Howard well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to pick No. 142, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Value with a capital V on Oronde Gadsden II in No. 151, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 152 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at Round 6, Pick 3. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick189
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 189 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick191
Rnd6
Terrance Ferguson
Circle this one: Terrance Ferguson at the 191st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Brandon Adams
They reached into another round for Brandon Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
