88 DRAFTING FOR THERaiders
The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Raiders reached some 134 spots for Mitchell Evans, and value like that does not grow back. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Schwesinger pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still on the board.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
