FutureC-
The Raiders lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Raiders spent real capital to be 128 picks early on Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Smith to cover a lot of smaller sins.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 33rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at the 73rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 103rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at pick 107, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 144 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than pick No. 214, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd6
Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at No. 218 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jimmy Horn Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
