FutureA
The Raiders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Raiders reached some 75 spots for James Williams Sr., and value like that does not grow back.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Washington at that price is a win they earned.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In slot 16 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 35th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Fair-plus on Germie Bernard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
LaNorris Sellers
The board had LaNorris Sellers higher than No. 76, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in pick No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington is a better player than the 87th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
A real head-scratcher, Charles Jagusah in pick 104 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
A conviction pick on Monroe Freeling at slot 111 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zachariah Branch. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
DJ McKinney
Good price on DJ McKinney in No. 134, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They liked DJ Campbell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 173rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 181 with a little surplus value in Duce Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
A reach for Isaiah Jatta in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd7
James Williams Sr.
They reached a country mile for James Williams Sr. at pick 219, and the board is aghast. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
