Overall

FutureB
A passer of the future in Ewers, and a D, for the Raiders. The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D.
The whole projection now runs through Quinn Ewers; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Reaching for Hill left real value on the table behind him.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Ewers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Quinn Ewers
In No. 14 they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
They took Ashton Jeanty at par in the 46th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Clay Webb
The board had cheaper options than Clay Webb at pick No. 71, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tommi Hill
A big swing on Tommi Hill at pick 103, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd5
Jason Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jason Henderson a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 167 with a little surplus value in Alfred Collins. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd7
Steve Linton
They went early on Steve Linton in slot 199, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
