Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LeQuint Allen got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at pick 214. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Tee Higgins deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
