FutureA+
The Raiders lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Raiders took Eric Gentry at the 219th pick, roughly 128 spots before his name belonged. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Reese to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In slot 20 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 28 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 33rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Good price on Olaivavega Ioane in pick No. 51, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Nothing to complain about; Germie Bernard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
They paid sticker price for Brian Parker II in Round 3, Pick 15, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at Round 3, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 99 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 102 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia is a better player than the 111th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at the 115th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.C. Davis well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 133 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They liked Max Iheanachor enough to skip the value, taking him in the 155th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
A wild overpay on DJ Campbell in the 160th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
They paid a round early for Jaydn Ott in No. 173, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 178 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183
Rnd6
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 183 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Taylen Green
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taylen Green. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213
Rnd6
Drayk Bowen
They went early on Drayk Bowen in Round 6, Pick 33, and the value did not follow. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick214
Rnd6
Malik Hartford
They talked themselves into Malik Hartford at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Peyton Bowen this early at the 217th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at No. 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235
Rnd7
A'Marion Peterson
Value said wait; A'Marion Peterson in pick No. 235 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
