The Raiders found their guy under center in Weigman: F.

Nobody else had Zy Alexander anywhere near pick No. 167. The Raiders did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They have staked the next five years on Conner Weigman, which is the only story that really matters here. 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.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Conner Weigman
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
By-the-book stuff, Walter Nolen at the 33rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elic Ayomanor in pick 39, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in pick No. 52 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the 71st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jasheen Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than the Round 5 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A real head-scratcher, Zy Alexander in Round 6, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd7 Armand Membou
They took Armand Membou at par in the 199th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
