The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: D. The Raiders went off the board in a big way for James Williams Sr., 46 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Leavitt to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In pick 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Good price on Kayden McDonald in slot 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at pick No. 61 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the 66th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Fields went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
You do not let a quarterback like Sam Leavitt reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
A reach on Charles Jagusah in No. 111; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 134 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 5, Pick 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
They took Aaron Anderson at par in the 173rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
A tidy little value on Duce Robinson in slot 181, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the 185th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 196 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
A real head-scratcher, Bryce Foster in Round 6, Pick 29 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
A big swing on Roderick Kearney at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
By-the-book stuff, Malik Hartford at slot 234 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248
Rnd7
James Williams Sr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams Sr. well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
