FutureA
More right than wrong for the Raiders, and a B to prove it. The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Amaris Williams, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The Stone steal is the beam this whole class leans on. It is not that Myrick is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Echoles
In No. 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick45
Rnd2
David Stone
David Stone in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson slipping to Round 3, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jaylen McClain
A safety of that caliber at pick 117 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at pick No. 120 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Corey Myrick
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Corey Myrick while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick152
Rnd5
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in the 152nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 185, where Mateen Ibirogba graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Amaris Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Amaris Williams well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
