The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Jordan to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
