The Raiders went off-script early, and it cost them a F. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Keyron Crawford a full 34 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It bottoms out at a F.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Styles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. More want than need.
Pick26
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 26th overall pick on Sonny Styles with tight end unsolved.
Pick28
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 28 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Colton Hood
By-the-book stuff, Colton Hood at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick32
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In slot 32 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at the 36th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
A tidy little value on Germie Bernard in the 49th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 25. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A want over a need in pick No. 59: Anthony Hill Jr. adds a linebacker while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at No. 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61
Rnd2
Malachi Fields
They liked Malachi Fields enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 61. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Will Lee III
Will Lee III slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent slot 67 on Kamari Ramsey, a safety they were not short of.
Pick94
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Value with a capital V on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 94th pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
They reached into another round for Cade Klubnik, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in No. 117 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tim Keenan III. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Good price on Taylen Green in the 168th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at pick No. 180 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Eric McAlister
A quiet steal in the 183rd pick: Eric McAlister for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Keyron Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keyron Crawford in Round 6, Pick 15, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd7
Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
