The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Jones Jr.: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Emery Jones Jr., the No. 121 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 180th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 6 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 108th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They paid sticker price for Nick Nash in pick No. 143, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 180 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They robbed the room for Woody Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A tidy little value on Ricky White III in the 222nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
