FutureA
The Raiders let Leonard fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Riley Leonard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at pick 144.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, with Jalon Walker leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick37
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 37th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at slot 68 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the 89th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 144 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Taking Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218
Rnd6
Karene Reid
Somehow Karene Reid was still sitting there in the 218th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jahvaree Ritzie
They paid sticker price for Jahvaree Ritzie in pick No. 256, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
