FutureC+
Larceny in the 181st pick lands the Raiders a D-, Allar and all. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Raiders indulged a want in Lawson while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open. The Allar pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Reaching for Durant left real value on the table behind him.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 31 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Nothing to complain about; Kayden McDonald went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Slaughter at the Round 2 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jayden Maiava
They read the board right and Jayden Maiava was the payoff at the 63rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Deontae Lawson adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ian Strong
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ian Strong. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 3, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 106 leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots for later.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
No edge and no loss on Zachariah Branch in pick 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They paid a round early for Zane Durant in the 173rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Drew Allar
You do not let a quarterback like Drew Allar reach No. 181 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in slot 186, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
