FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Nelson: D. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Nelson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will need Fortune to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
The Raiders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in the 37th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick40
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the 40th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at pick No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in pick 68, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
A quiet steal in slot 108: Tyler Shough for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zy Alexander at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A reach on O'Donnell Fortune in pick 147; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at Round 5, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
The board fumbled Jack Nelson all the way to slot 213, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at pick No. 215 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at the 222nd pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
