FutureB-
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Shough: B+. Somebody in No. 215 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while Tyler Shough, the No. 136 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
Reaching for Martin left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In pick 25 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in pick No. 37, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
They paid sticker price for Xavier Watts in the 45th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinshon Judkins at slot 76. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at the 108th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at No. 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 143rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to the 170th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 180 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Nick Martin
Nick Martin in pick 213 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at pick No. 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A premium they did not need to pay, Teddye Buchanan a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
