Grand theft in slot 77: the Raiders steal Stone and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. David Stone, the No. 23 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 77.

They are betting Gregory proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In the 15th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
They did well to land Kade Pieper in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 David Stone
Circle this one: David Stone at No. 77 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
They reached a country mile for Wendell Gregory at slot 116, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Anthony Boswell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Boswell at pick No. 127 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
They paid up for Christian Alliegro at the 192nd pick when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
