The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Sampson: A. Thirty-one other rooms let Dylan Sampson slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at pick 85. Highway robbery. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Adding Maliek Collins by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In pick 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 41st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams is a better player than pick No. 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 67 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
A running back of that caliber at the 85th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
They let Omarr Norman-Lott come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 29. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
