Larceny in Round 4, Pick 22 lands the Raiders a B, Alexander and all. Thirty-one other rooms let Zy Alexander slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at No. 124. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 37th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 68, where Demetrius Knight Jr. graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 87 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Will Howard
Nothing to complain about; Will Howard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at pick No. 117. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Zy Alexander in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
The board fumbled Joshua Farmer all the way to slot 132, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
They read the board right and Dillon Gabriel was the payoff at pick No. 143. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez is a better player than No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 6, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in the 213th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A slide stopped in pick 215, with Jay Higgins worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Ransaw at the 222nd pick is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 237th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
