FutureB
The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Bassa: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 131 name on the board, stolen at No. 212.
Reaching for McLaughlin left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In slot 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They paid sticker price for Tre Harris in No. 45, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at Round 3, Pick 4. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at pick No. 73, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slipping to the 76th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106
Rnd4
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 14 on Barrett Carter, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick122
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 170th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 178, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick196
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
They reached a country mile for Seth McLaughlin at the 196th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
